Inverting text on LCD

Hi
I'm here in Holstebro (Denmark) with John.
We discussed how to use inverted text on a LCD in Flowcode. Often you would select a topic in a menu showed in a LCD by turning ex a quadrature encoder.
The selected topic is shown as bright text and darkened background.
Can you do this in Flowcode?
BR.

Hello Tomas,
There doesn't seem to be a setting on the display you can use to control how the text is displayed but there is an option for custom characters. I think you only get so many customisable characters on the display so you may have to define the character and then diaplsy it and then draw the next character into the same memory location on the LCD.
There is an article on how to do this available from here.

Hi Ben
Thanks for your quick reply.
John was in doubt as well if this could be done by one of the Flowcode funktions, so he was right.
I will look in to the article you linked to.
Thanks!
