How to make a TextField with (TextField.NO_EDIT_MODE_INPUT | TextField.READONLY) wrappable like this:

 

If 'to' string is less than a specific width (~screen width) then it's only singleline, if more then it is multiline.

I see no easy way like providing a constant in constructor.

You need to create your own custom field for such purposes.

Hi,

Instead of using single textField you can use One LabelField and One TextField if it fits you requirement.

Here is the code for it

HorizontalFieldManager managerHorz = new HorizontalFieldManager();
VerticalFieldManager managerVert1 = new VerticalFieldManager();
VerticalFieldManager managerVert2 = new VerticalFieldManager(); 

LabelField objLabel = new LabelField("ORANGE"){
             public void paint(Graphics g){
                    g.setColor(Color.RED);
                    super.paint(g);
                }
          };
       managerVert1.add(objLabel);
     
      BasicEditField objBasic = new BasicEditField();
      managerVert2.add(objBasic);
     
      managerHorz.add(managerVert1);
      managerHorz.add(managerVert2);
     
      add(managerHorz);

Thank you for quick responses. Another question on this is - is there any way to make a textfield which height can vary depending on it's contents(like in prev pic).
