hi,
i want to create dynamic EditField for my HorizontalFieldManager.
There are some cases where i need 5 Field and there are cases where i need 20 10 or 7 Fields.

is something like this possible?

for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++) {
myHorizontalField.add(new EditField "Field"+i("caption",...);
}

so that i have 10 fields at the end named like Field1, Field2, Field3,....

thanks hibbert

hibbert,

I've done something similar with LabelFields. Declare/define an array for your fields.

Private LabelField fields[];

Once you know how many fields you will need, you define the specific size of the array.

fields = new LabelField[tblSz];

Then you just start creating the fields in your array.

fields[fldIndex++] = new LabelField(...);

hi,
ok that sounds good but works not correctly (or i did it the wrong way )

 hfm.deleteAll();
                             fields = new LabelField[5];
                             
                             for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                                 fields[i] = new LabelField("Das ist Feld #"+i);
                                 
                             }
                            hfm.add(fields[0]); 
                            hfm.add(fields[1]); 
                            hfm.add(fields[2]);

but all the fields are displayed in on line, it looks like this:
Das ist Feld #1Das ist Feld #2Das ist Feld#3
it would be better if each labelField get it's own row ;)

i also tried

fields[i] = new LabelField("Das ist Feld #"+i,LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);

but then only the first field is displayed and nothing from the other fields...

hfm is a horizontal field manager. you need a vertical field manager if you want your fields in an own row each

[fbrimm]

Or you can use both horizontal and vertical field managers if you want cells to go across and down (like a spreadsheet). Check out RIM's example on how to create a table. Essentially, you create a HFM, create an array of VFMs that you add to the HFM, and you add the elements of your field array to the VFMs.
