Hello all,

I'm looking for any information on an elegant solution to
the problem of displaying menus on an LCD.  Specifically,
I want to be able to display menu selections on the
second line of an LCD and use pushbuttons to scroll left
and right as well as select an option.  Selection of an
option could either lead to an action or just drop down
into a further sub-menu. Anything I can think of is rather
inefficeint or brute-force, like a linked list or padding
each menu item so it it can be pulled out of memory
using a nasty calculation from the starting point of the
menu text.  Same goes for a sub-menu or action
selection  - I would need a flag to indicate if each
selection is either a link to a sub-menu or associated
with an action, as well as either an offset to a submenu
or some sort of command code.  Adding a menu item
in the future would create a nightmare as all offsets
would need to be recalculated.  There has to be an
easier way.  Any thoughts?

Ken
