I can't seem to move my numericChoiceFields anywhere, even though all of my other fields will move where I want them to go. Does anybody know how I can do this? I'm simply trying to center them.

PS. I would much prefer to use NumericChoiceFields instead of ObjectChoiceField due to a large amount of numbers.

Thanks!

Have you tried Field.FIELD_HCENTER as a style?

[rabiray]

Can you post your code , how you are trying to set the style.

Thanks

NumericChoiceField and  ObjectChoiceField both inherited from ChoiceField class ...

Object choice field has got a constructor where user can pass style as FIELD.HCENTER

ObjectChoiceField(String label, Object[] choices, int initialIndex, long style) 

but 

Numeric Choice field has not got any constructor which accepts style as a parameter.

"Numeric Choice field has not got any constructor which accepts style as a parameter."

You are right, never noticed that!  Oh well

[QuestionMan]

Since style can't be a parameter, does that mean you can't make it centered?

Try this if found solution give me like and accept the solution

HorizontalFieldManager hfm5 = new HorizontalFieldManager(HorizontalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH);

hfm5.setMargin(10,0,0,10);

hfm5.add(new LabelField("Class "));

String Class[]={"Select","9","10","11","12","UG","PG"};

nChoice=new ObjectChoiceField("",Class,0,ObjectChoiceField.FIELD_LEFT);

nChoice.setMargin(0,0,0,100);

hfm5.add(nChoice);

add(hfm5);

Hi

Try this code ...i have extended the Object choice field to behave like a Numeric field and with the style option

package mypackage;

import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ObjectChoiceField;

public class CustomObjectChoiceField extends ObjectChoiceField {

public CustomObjectChoiceField(String label, int i, int j, int initialIndex, long style) {
super(label , new Object[]{""}, initialIndex,style);
int initialValue = i;
int objSize = j+1-i;
Object[] tmpChoice = new Object[objSize];

for (int k = 0; k <objSize; k++) {
tmpChoice[k] = Integer.toString(initialValue);
initialValue= initialValue+1;
}
this.setChoices(tmpChoice);
}
}

Call to be made like  :

CustomObjectChoiceField chcFld = new CustomObjectChoiceField("Test", 0, 10, 0, Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
CustomObjectChoiceField chcFld1 = new CustomObjectChoiceField("Test", 5, 100, 0, Field.FIELD_HCENTER);

Hope this helps.
