I had made a new code for one of my shows

Function CreateHomeworkHelperzMenu() as integer
    screen = CreateObject("roGridScreen")
    port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    screen.SetMessagePort(port)
    
    screen.SetBreadcrumbText("HomeworkHelperz", "Full Menu")
    screen.SetupLists(2)
    screen.SetListNames(["2016"])

    screen.SetContentList(0, GetHomeworkHelperzMenuOptions_2016()) 
        
    screen.show()
    
      while (true)
        msg = wait(0, port)
        if type(msg) = "roPosterScreenEvent"
            if (msg.isScreenClosed())
                return -1
            else if (msg.isListItemSelected())
                ShowHomeworkHelperzDetails( msg.GetIndex() )
            endif
        endif
        
    end while

Well, I put your code into a project. I added a sub main() since that vital bit is missing from the code you shared. The code compiled without error. Something else must be wrong with your app. I even put


sub main()

    createHomeworkHelperzMenu()

end sub

And that worked. There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with the code you posted, so the problem may be in whatever code you didn’t post.

Like this?


sub main()

    createHomeworkHelperzMenu()
    screen = CreateObject("roGridScreen")
    port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    screen.SetMessagePort(port)
    
    screen.SetBreadcrumbText("Lunch", "Full Menu")
    screen.SetupLists(2)
    screen.SetListNames(["2016"])

    screen.SetContentList(0, GetHomeworkHelperzMenuOptions_2016())  
        
    screen.show()
    
   while (true)
        msg = wait(0, port)
        if type(msg) = "roGridScreenEvent"
            if (msg.isScreenClosed())
                return -1
            else if (msg.isListItemSelected())
                showSpringboardScreen( msg.GetIndex() )

            endif
        endif
    end while
end sub
