Hi all im clicking/tapping on screen. My  Screen has lot of managers which contains fields. fields having focus. Due to focus on clicking on the button particular action is getting perform. But I want if the field has the focus but Im clicking on some other area due to focus that particular button action is performing . So how to overcome this...

Please help me

Thanks in advance.

Because of the bad design of this behaviour by RIM, questions like this have been asked everyday.

check if the touchevent has the same coordinates as the focused field

hi simon
could you pls tell how to check the coordinates...actually im checking like this....

in my customized Mybuttonfield of touchEvent() im wriiten like this..

Im adding the mybuttonfield in other screen's managers...

I dont want to peform any action on empty area of screen but due to focus of field its getting perform....




Manager m = this.getManager();
int _index = getFieldAtLocation(touchX,touchY,m);

public int getFieldAtLocation(int x, int y,Manager m)
{
XYRect rect = new XYRect();
int index = m.getFieldCount() -1;
while (index >= 0)
{
m.getField(index).getExtent(rect);
if (rect.contains(x, y))
break;
--index;
}




I think i missed on checking the coordinates... HOW TO CHECK WHETHER THE FIELD IS THERE OR NOT WHILE CLICKING ON SCREEN?

[simon_hain]

check the boundaries of the focussed field, not the one at the location.

COULD YOU PLS HOW TELL TO CHECK THE BOUNDARIES

[simon_hain]

check your capslock key, it may be stuck.

you can use
http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/7.0.0api/net/rim/device/api/ui/Field.html#getContentRect()
to retrieve the space occupied by a field.
