Call a menu item from function

[janbelder]

Hi Thomas,
Is it possible to go to a menu item directly?
I tried to figure that out but wasn't able to.
Hoped that I could find it in the link to gitbook somewhere here, but that link is broken....

I don't really understand what you mean by going to a menu item directly, can you please explain more.

Also would be helpful if you paste the link which doesn't work here and where you got it from so that I can update it.

Probably, push button 1 -> open menu and cursor is on position X
push button Z -> open menu and cursor is on position Y.

You can use a combination of menu.setCursorPosition‎(...) and menu.update() to achieve what you want.
So when button Z is pressed the following code is executed

menu.setCursorPosition‎(`your desired position goes here`)
menu.update() // redraw menu with changes
