Hello

just wondering is there a way to add another application to the 'menu item'.

so for example say i clicked on an active text field and it opened the 'item menu' (NOT THE SUB MENU)

HOW CAN I PUT MY APP AMONG THESE OPTIONS ?

Is this your own application that is displaying the active text Field?

Sorry peter strange it wont happen again..

yes it is my own application displaying the active text field

If you are doing this from a MainScreen, then the makeMenu method is called.  In that method, you can see what Field is currently in focus, and add additional menu items as you see fit.  That is one of the ways I add 'context' type menus to my screens.

I have also implemented true Context menus for this sort of thing.  To do this, you create your own extended active text Field and you can create a ContextMenu that only applies to that Field.  have a look at the Javadocs to supply more information on doing this.

im not entirely sure what you mean

Which bit do you not understand?

MainScreen, makeMenu, inFocus, ContextMenu or what?
