I am making interface by LCD 4x20 with pic18f458.
First problem i cant see cursor when i send all orders after sending order by order (after be bored i sent all possible orders in mikroC)??
second i cant see orders to control cursor??
 

If you can't see the cursor then remove
Code: 
 Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF);
from the program. What do you mean by sending orders?
 

I cant because it very long and in many files (and of course secret)
but i want order in mikroC to appear cursor

- - - Updated - - -

Order means commands as Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);
 

yes.................:)
and i deleted all Lcd_CURSOR_OFF :D
 

Have you added the code
Code: 
 Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);
?
 

Lcd_Custom_Config(&PORTB,7,6,5,4,&PORTC,4,3,5); // DB4 14, DB5 15, DB6 16, DB7 17, RS 42, E 43
////Lcd_Custom_Cmd(Lcd_CURSOR_OFF); // Turn cursor off
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_TURN_ON);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_BLINK_CURSOR_ON);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_FIRST_ROW);
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_MOVE_CURSOR_LEFT);
 

Which version of mikroC are you using?

In proteus I am getting the blinking cursor. see image.

(2)
Lcd_Custom_Cmd(LCD_MOVE_CURSOR_LEFT);

Hi ABOELLEEL;
I'm never using the embedded LCD commands but I have a thought:
- the above (1) instruction sets the cursor to its home (very first) position (1:1), is not it?
- but the (2) moves the cursor to left, I think to an invisible position
 

hi aboellel,

why not you use lcd_cmd()? you first pin details in top of the program.
