Hello all,
I am having an custom edit field with image which i am setting in its paint background method.
My custom edit field class extends horizontal scroll as i need it. but still input is not in one line while i am setting property EditField.No_Newline.
alternatively, I added some piece of code in my paint to do so...
but its updating my MainScreen scroll ......what to do pls help...
EditField ef = (EditField)getField(0);
String entireText = ef.getText();
boolean longText = false;
String textToDraw = "";
font = getFont();
int availableWidth = width - totalHorizontalEmptySpace;
if (font.getAdvance(entireText) <= availableWidth)
{
textToDraw = entireText;
}
else
{
int endIndex = entireText.length();
for (int beginIndex = 1; beginIndex < endIndex; beginIndex++)
{
textToDraw = entireText.substring(beginIndex);
if (font.getAdvance(textToDraw) <= availableWidth)
{
longText = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (longText == true)
{
// Force the edit field display only the truncated text
ef.setText(textToDraw);
// Now let the components draw themselves
super.paint(graphics);
// Return the text field its original text
ef.setText(entireText);
}
else
{
super.paint(graphics);
}
