hi all,
in a screen i override paint function to design screen's content as i like. The matter is that the height of the content painted inside the screen exceed display max height and the vertical scrollbar is missing.
code is simple... for example
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
super.paint(graphics);
for ( int i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
graphics.drawText("test", 5, y + ( i * 30 ), DrawStyle.ELLIPSIS );
}
}

how can i force the vertical scrollbar to be displayed?

next step is more complex. i need to add a button at the bottom of the screen. how can this be solved?

please post code
thanks
J.

If you paint your own screen, then you'll be responsible for the scroll bars and the scrolling.

Instead, extend Field (creating your own custom field), do your painting inside the Field class. Now you can add your Field to a Manager and set the SCROLL properties in the manager. The Manager will scroll your field if the field vitual extent exceeds the display area.

Your next step is really a variation of this first. Set the physical extent of your Field so that it will not encroach on the area reserved for the button.

And BTW, post on one forum or the other, not both.
