Returning to "competition screen" on V5 controller

Hello,

I am trying to write a code that will print information on the V5 controller LCD screen during a match. I want to have 3 lines of text on the controller screen.

It seems like the only way to do this is by using the clearScreen() or setCursor(1,1) before printing the text to clear the timer, controller icon, and battery level off of the screen. If you don’t do this, only 1 line of text can be displayed.

For example 
   Controller1.Screen.setCursor(1, 1); 
   Controller1.Screen.print("Hello World");
Controller1.Screen.newLine();
 Controller1.Screen.print("Line 2");
Controller1.Screen.newLine();
 Controller1.Screen.print("Line 3");

My question is: Once you have cleared the screen and sent it into “3 line mode”, is there any way to return to that default competition screen with the timer and battery level?

Thanks!

I haven’t looked that far into it but I think that the original “GUI” is rendered on program start, so I doubt there is a way to call it back.
