Is there some trick with creating a Custom Field. I have a Pearl and my custom fields

do not clear the background when invalidate is called to paint themselves when needed for

key interaction. These fields are in an extended VerticalManager that

paints its background with an image. The paint(Graphics) for a Custom field is simply

public void paint(Graphics gc){

   do my painting call no super

}

Now on a BB 8700 the fields clear white. So what do I need to override? I don;t call the super so it should

not clear it.

The drawFocus mehod could have an impact here if the field is receiving focus.  Where is the background image being drawn, in the Manager that the field resides in?

Can you provide the code within your paint method so we can see what your field is drawing?

Which OS are you running?  Devices running 4.2.0 seem to have this problem more often then 4.1.0 or 4.2.1.  You may need to call invalidate() from your onFocus() and onUnfocus() methods.

Thanks will do that in onUnFocus and OnFocus as I had to override these to prevent

clearing on the 8110. The OS 4.2.1.96 AT&T standard which is a wide audience we support

4.2.1 the lowest for us. Newer devices such as 8110 are 4.3 for AT&T
