but when i use "$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)" it will be error....

"$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)" had 2 characters trying to use the code 158, you need to change it so each custom character has a different character code, like...

"$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(176)"

You can have up to 8 custom characters on one screen at once, the codes you can assign them are...
176
158
131
132
133
134
135
136


Hope this helps,
Abi.

what are you trying to display?
Post the code you are currently using for the screen so we can check for errors

$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(158)$CustomChar(2,4,10,4,0,0,0,0,0)$Chr(176) worked fine testing here, gave me a little flower and large ? symbol (my descriptions are terrible, i know).
