How do I make a RichTextField focusable, but not editable or selectable?

What I want is a field that has the text formatting options of a RichTextField but behaves like a LabelField that is set to Focusable.

I want the whole thing to be highlighted when it gains focus.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Try this:

RichTextField rtf = new RichTextField("Hello World", Field.FOCUSABLE | Field.READONLY | Field.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS);

I tried that.

What I have is:

RichTextField entry = new RichTextField(combined, offset, attribute, fonts, RichTextField.USE_TEXT_WIDTH | RichTextField.READONLY | RichTextField.FOCUSABLE | RichTextField.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS);

I get a field that isn't editable, but the cursor still enters the text field and scrolls through it. I have a list of these fields and I want the entire field to be highlighted when I scroll to it.

See the KB article for formatting text in a RichTextField:

http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800332/800505/800345/...

One more thing, pass the values (Field.FOCUSABLE | Field.READONLY | Field.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS)  as the style

  RichTextField(String text, int[] offsets, byte[] attributes, Font[] fonts, long style)

Try with this:

RichTextField entry = new RichTextField(combined, offset, attribute, fonts, Field.FOCUSABLE | Field.READONLY )
        {
            XYRect focusRect;
            protected void onFocus(int direction) 
            {
                if ( focusRect == null ) 
                {
                    focusRect = this.getExtent();
                }
                super.onFocus(direction);
            }
            public boolean isSelectable() 
            {
                return false;
            }
            protected void drawFocus(Graphics g, boolean on) 
            {
                if ( focusRect != null ) 
                {
                    super.drawHighlightRegion(g, Field.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS, on, 0, 0, focusRect.width, focusRect.height);                    
                } 
                else 
                {
                    super.drawFocus(g, on);                    
                }
            }
            public void getFocusRect(XYRect rect) 
            {
                if ( focusRect == null ) 
                {
                    super.getFocusRect(rect);
                }
                else
                {
                    rect.x = 0;
                    rect.y = 0;
                    rect.width = focusRect.width;
                    rect.height = focusRect.height;
                }                 
            }            
            public int moveFocus(int amount, int status, int time) 
            {
                return amount;
            }
            
        };
