Let me thank you for this amazing project.
Is there a way to change the text of the root menu tittle from main Arduino scketch?
I know that it is generated based on the name of the application when TCMenuDesigner generate the code ,
but I would like to show the software version in the root menu tittle without having to generate the TCMenu code again or modify the text of the "applicationInfo" at xxxmenu.cpp , since it will be eliminated if I generate the code again with TCMenuDesigner.
I have tried to modify the value of "applicationinfo", but I think it is not possible because it is stored in PROGMEM, True?
Best Regards.

Thanks for the feedback, it's good to get users feedback on the library.

Although it looks like the title menu item does allow the value to change, it looks like the base renderer always updates it every time around.

What I will do, is to add a version of the setter method that takes an option boolean that tells the object to consider the text locked.

void setTitleHeaderPgm(const char *header, bool textIsLocked)

Take a look at: https://github.com/davetcc/tcMenuLib/blob/master/src/graphics/RuntimeTitleMenuItem.h

I've raised an issue for this: https://github.com/davetcc/tcMenuLib/issues/125

Thank you Dave!, I´ll be wait for the option to be working.

Hi again!
My problem is solved now adding:

appTitleMenuItem.setTitleHeaderPgm("custom tittle");

to loop() function.

Thank you Dave!

Great, that's a good short-term solution, but I'll fix it up properly in one of the 2.2 patch releases.

It seems to be a solution in the tcMenuLib project (I mean in the software that constructs the source code for the embedded processor)
Any of you could think on something to change in the embedded code, or it is too difficult?

I've seen that the file "tcMenuU8g2.cpp" (constructed by the application) has U8g2MenuRenderer::renderTitleArea().
It copies in a buffer the title menu (applicationInfo.name) but I don't have an strategic plan. Any help will be welcome.

I've seen that the file "tcMenuU8g2.cpp" (constructed by the application) has U8g2MenuRenderer::renderTitleArea().

That's from a really old version of TcMenu, unlikely we can help with that version here.

Any display-specific code from the past 6+ months uses the drawable interface. That's the version we are discussing here.

OK, I'm going to update the versions.

I have a question if you don't mind...
I'm using PlatformIO. In that IDE, your library appears, but the version I can insert is 2.1.3
In github I can see 2.2.3 (https://github.com/davetcc/tcMenuLib)

Do you reccomend installing 2.1.3 from the IDE or add manually the last version available on github?

Thanks again for your work, Dave.

Ah you are right, I have not done the release on platformIO! I will do that later today, thanks for letting me know.

I've just published it now on platformIO. Don't know how I missed that one!

Don't worry. You are offering it free, that is the point.

BTW on the override title front, I did a commit for that yesterday that will be in the next release.

You can see the commit also changes the dynamicMenuItems example to use the new functions.
