I have to show some information. If information is more than one line it will automatically breaks itself into several lines. For this I created my own CustomLabelField. It works fine. But When I add several CustomLabelFields in a VerticalFieldManager some labels hides below the screen, so I want to scroll it to see those labels, I can't scroll. So I write this method:

    public boolean isFocusable()
    {
        return isFocusable;
    }

By doing this I can scroll. But this time, when a label is focused background is changes its color. I don't want this. I wan't color will remain same and I can scroll. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.

You realise that you can make a labelField focusable using its constructor, for example:

LabelField my Lab = new LabelField("Test", LabelField.FOCUSABLE);

The only way I can think of (and I'm not a UI expert, so there are likely to be other ways), is to override getFocusRect(), and return this as a 0,0,0,0 rectanlge.  I've tried this in 4.2.1, seemed to work.  But might not work for you, and I've no idea of the consequences.

        public void getFocusRect(XYRect rect) {
            // super.getFocusRect(rect);
            rect.width = 0;
            rect.height = 0;
        }

Just has another thought, have you tried a RichTextField in place of your LabelField?

My problem is absolutely solved. I din't try RichTextField yet, may be I will try it later.

Just to add, if you want not to show the blue-cursor (I know some of our clients do not want that), just overwrite drawFocus method.

And here is a code snippet, someone aksed:

RichTextField  textField = new RichTextField () {
			protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
				graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE);
				super.paint(graphics);
			}
			protected void drawFocus(Graphics graphics, boolean on) {
		    	// Do nothing
		    }	
		};
		textField.setEditable(false);
