How can I implement a tooltip when one of the item´s text exceed the width of the screen?

Another solution could be a single item take 2 rows.

Any idea?

Thanks.

This i prefer(there may be better than this) get the item before adding it in listfield and check out its length with screenwidth .if that exceeds
just do string manipulation and add those two item in the listfield...

But if I check the string length and then I have to split it in two items would be wrong, because the user could select two items when really it's just one.

Thanks for your answer, but I need another solution.

XYRect xy = g.getClippingRect();      drawFocus(g,true);                                                                                        drawHighlightRegion(g,Field.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS,true,xy.x,xy.y,xy.width,xy.height+16);                
       invalidate();
       super.paint(g);

for the required item in listfield,overridden the paint method in your listfield by the above code. you can extent the height of your focus for that particular item....

I'm sorry, but I think there's a better solution.

Thanks.

Any help, please?

The BlackBerry API does not have method for tooltips. To accomplish this you could override the draw drawFocus method of the Field class and draw your tool tips using the Graphics object passed into this method.

...and my next comment is "where are you going to paint the tool-tip if the width of the text already exceeds the width of the display"?

you can use drawtext to paint several lines of text in your listfield. use setheight accordingly.

Thanks everyone for your answers.

Finally, I've implemented a tooltip inside the ListField (well, ColorListField).

If anybody wants the sample code, just write me.

Regards.
