[FR] Custom Menus on more displays

[threed-factory-store]

Did you test the latest bugfix-2.1.x code?

Yes, and the problem still exists.

Bug Description

I added custom menu items to my Configuration_adv.h file, using the examples as a template:

#define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN
#if ENABLED(CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN)
  #define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN_TITLE "Leveling"
  #define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN_SCRIPT_DONE "M117 User Script Done"
  #define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN_SCRIPT_AUDIBLE_FEEDBACK
  //#define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN_SCRIPT_RETURN   // Return to status screen after a script
  #define CUSTOM_MENU_MAIN_ONLY_IDLE         // Only show custom menu when the machine is idle

  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_1_DESC "Level for " PREHEAT_1_LABEL
  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_1_GCODE "M190 S" STRINGIFY(PREHEAT_1_TEMP_BED) "\nM109 S" STRINGIFY(PREHEAT_1_TEMP_HOTEND) " \nG28 \nG29 P1 \nG29 P3 \nG29 S1 \nG29 F 10 \nG29 A \nM500 \nM140 S0 \nM104 S0"
  //#define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_1_CONFIRM          // Show a confirmation dialog before this action

  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_2_DESC "Level for " PREHEAT_2_LABEL
  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_2_GCODE "M190 S" STRINGIFY(PREHEAT_2_TEMP_BED) "\nM109 S" STRINGIFY(PREHEAT_2_TEMP_HOTEND) " \nG28 \nG29 P1 \nG29 P3 \nG29 S2 \nG29 F 10 \nG29 A \nM500 \nM140 S0 \nM104 S0"
  //#define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_2_CONFIRM

  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_3_DESC "Home & UBL Info"
  #define MAIN_MENU_ITEM_3_GCODE "G28\nG29 W"
#endif

Nothing shows up on my printer's screen.

I know my firmware is being loaded because I add my build number to my CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME, and the correct build number is being displayed when the printer boots.

I don't think Custom Menus work in anything other than MarlinUI-based UIs for DWIN screens.

In your case, DWIN_MARLINUI_PORTRAIT or DWIN_MARLINUI_LANDSCAPE should work.

I've added a sanity check for now: #25079

Can you rename this to a Feature Request?

[thinkyhead]

This kind of exists as a standing TODO for all third-party custom screens, so we don't necessarily need an open FR for it.
