I am trying to change the background color of a labelfield after the user selects it. All of the examples are for when you are first creating the field. How do I change the background color of only the selected fied after its selection? Thanks

Do what whatever code/tutorial/etc. says at whatever point the text changes and invalidate the field.

[joedvorak]

Can you give an example? All of the examples involve creating a new labelfield. 

Thanks

What example do you have for creating it? Do you have code for when the text changes.

[joedvorak]

Here is the example I have in setting the labelfield color upon its creation:

LabelField theLabel = new LabelField(anIDF, Field.FOCUSABLE) {
	public void paint(Graphics g) {
                g.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
		super.paint(g);
	}
};

I need to change the background and font colors of the field some time after it has been created. Any examples would be appreciated. Thanks.

    tab1 = new LabelField("label one  ", LabelField.FOCUSABLE){
        boolean flag = false;
     public void paint(Graphics g){

                     g.setBackgroundColor( Color.WHITE );    
                     g.clear();
                     g.setColor(0x3D9140);     

                     if(!flag)
                        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
                     else
                         g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
                     super.paint(g);
             }
     public void onFocus(int direction) {
        flag = true;
        super.onFocus(direction);
        this.invalidate();
    }
    public void onUnfocus() {
        flag = false;
        super.onUnfocus();
        this.invalidate();
    }

     };

BTW, it is better for you to use "search" at first. You will find this easily if u do that.

well i was also facing the same problem.

class FCLabelFieldTabs extends LabelField { 	
	
	long style;
	public FCLabelFieldTabs(Object text, long style) { 
            super(text, style);
            this.style = style;
    } 

    private int mFontColor = -1; 

    public void setFontColor(int fontColor) { 
            mFontColor = fontColor; 
    }
    
    public void setHighlightColor(int backgroundColor){
    	this.bgColour=backgroundColor;
    }
   
    boolean _inFocus = false;
	private int bgColour;
    public void onFocus(int direction) {
        _inFocus = true;
        super.onFocus(direction);
        this.invalidate();
    }
    public void onUnfocus() {
        _inFocus = false;
        super.onUnfocus();
        this.invalidate();
        this.style = LabelField.NON_FOCUSABLE;
    }
  
    public void paintBackground(int bgColour)
    {
    	this.bgColour = bgColour;
    	invalidate();
    //int color = graphics.getBackgroundColor();
    //graphics.setBackgroundColor(Color.DARKORANGE); // some color here
    //graphics.clear(); 
    //graphics.setBackgroundColor(Color.DARKORANGE);
    	 
    }
    protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time)
    {
        // write your code on click
        return true;
    }


    protected void paint(Graphics graphics) { 
    	
            if (-1 != mFontColor)
            {	
            graphics.setColor(mFontColor);
           
            
            if ( _inFocus) {
            	graphics.setBackgroundColor( 0xfe8100 );//ORANGE COLOR ON GETTING FOCUS
            	graphics.drawRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
            	 	
            } 
           graphics.clear();
            super.paint(graphics);
            }
    }    
 }

 this is the customlabelfield

and then again on focus_GAINED of the label

iam calling onFocus

may be this helps u
