I've got a problem with a class of mine that extends TextField. When I open the context Menu on MyTextField, the default options appear. If I choose "Show Symbols", my program shows an error that says "ClassCastException". I thought that maybe I had done something wrong with my class, but then y tried the same with a regular TextField and the same problem came up. Anyone knows how I can get that option to work?
Are you creating a MIDlet using javax.microedition.lcdui.TextField or a BlackBerry CLDC application using net.rim.device.api.ui.component.TextField? Are you seeing this with the base TextField or only with the class you are extending? What BlackBerry model and handheld software version are you testing with? You can find this under Options, About on the BlackBerry.
TextField is the base class for BasicEditField and RichTextField, but can not be instantiated directly. How are you adding the TextField to your screen? Can you provide a code snippet that reproduces the exception?
The version you have listed is for the BlackBerry Simulation tool itself. What is the BlackBerry handheld software version running within the tool? You can see this by going to Options (wrench icon), About within the BlackBerry Simulator.
