# SWITCH

#### Syntax

**SWITCH**(*widget;* *newEntry; type*)

* *widget* - the menu widget to which the new setting should be applied - ***Value type**: widget*
* *newEntry* - the new entry, to which the menu should be switched - ***Value type**: any (depending on parameter “type”)*
* *type* - the type of the parameter *newEntry* - ***Value type**: constant (optional, default value: position)*\
  Possible values are
  * *<mark style="color:red;">value</mark>* - parameter *newEntry* contains the value of the new entry
  * *<mark style="color:red;">position</mark>* - parameter *newEntry* contains the position of the new entry in the list of menu entries

#### Remarks

1. *position* is 1-based, so if the first entry should be selected, *position* must be 1.
2. If *position* is less than 1 or higher than the number of menu entries, the menu selection does not change.
3. The "On switch" action of the menu widget is executed directly after the function is called.

#### Example

The button switches menu1 to position 1:

Here the button switches menu4 to value "Europe":

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nedyx.com/nedyx/clearlines-functions/widget-functions/switch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
