Hi All,...

am Newbie to BlackBerry,

I wannt to hide the blue selector background for the field in blackberry, 

also I want to set the Transparent background for the field,.

pls tell me any one am helpless...

Thanks a lot in advance.

Are you wanting this behavior for all Fields or for one specific Field?

How important is this to you?  I,am asking because what you want is

a) Not trivial, and

b) Not what BB users are used to - they are used to seeing blue focus.

First of all Thanks for ur time peter,..

Actually my need is "click event on vertical field manager"

that is I have four vertical field managers each have one Bitmap field and Textfield

 I would like to focus the vfm and click or touch event for the vfm,.... but I can get the click event for bitmapfield and textfield only,.. thats y am trying to remove the blue background of bitmap and textfield while they got focus,...

Is there any other way to achiev this??? pls tel me...

How can I insert the screenshot into post so that I can easily  explain my problems

screenshots are only allowed after a certain time or postcount i think, but you can use an external picture hoster and just paste the link.

the blue focus area is usually painted by drawFocus, you can try to override that to achieve a different effect.
you can also override navigationclick on the manager and return true to capture all clicks in its area, this would most likely be the easiest approach.

The most straightforward way I see is to create a desirable background for the focused state (let's call it focusBackground) and use setBackground(Field.VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS, focusBackground) on your Field to replace the default behavior.
