Menu Item: Bring up new screen based on focused field in VFM?

[doni49]

My mainscreen has a VerticalFieldManager. I've created a menu item on the mainscreen and when the user selects the menu item, I want the run method to show a new screen based on the INDEX number of the field from the mainscreen that had the focus before selecting the menu item.

But when I added mainscreen.getFieldWithFocusIndex() to my menu item's run method, it ALWAYS thinks that the FIRST item is in focus--no matter which one I have focused.

Any ideas?

TIA!

Using this method will give you only the Manager that has the focus. Remember that Manager inplements Field, so it looks like a field to the VerticalFieldManager that is the delgate for your MainScreen.

You can check the resposne from this call and see if it is indeed a Manager - if it is, then ask *it* for the field with focus.

Alternatively, you could use getLeafFieldWithFocus(), which will return the field which is *not* a manager.
