how to add first command on right and others in left in LWUIT

[Manish_Bansal]

Hi all

when i am adding a command on a form in LWUIT then it is by default added on left side and then other commands are going on the right side.
can any body tell me how to add first command on right side and other commands on the left side?

for eg. exit or back on right side and other commands on the left side.

thanks

you simpl can't with the standard Command high level items...
You can give them a priority, but that will be like a suggestion to the OS how you as a developer would like to see your Commands placed, but in the end it will be the underlying OS which will devide how they will be placed...
A solution would be to create your own buttons in Canvas or otherwise use a 3rd party GUI library like LWUIT or J2ME Polish....

i am asking this for lwuit not for high level or canvas.

thanks

@Tiger -- Manish has asked the Question with respect to LWUIT only, not MIDP.

You can try Look&feel.setReverseSoftButtons(true); for this.

sorry this used to be a plain j2me forum, getting more and more LWUIT questions which actually has nothing to do with Nokia... I guess thats what the LWUIT forum exists for...

This feature Look&feel.setReverseSoftButtons(true) exist in all version of LWUIT, you should take latest public release JAR from LWUIT website.

Hi Manish
Could you tell me.How you solved the problem?
I have used command button like this
view.addCommand(new Command("Exit") {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
ite.show();
}
});

I need two soft keys "Exit" on right side and "option" on left side
"option" contains Following things "add" and "view"

Please provide a solution
That would be helpful for me.
THANKS

In LWUIT you can use addCommand to add mutiple commands like Exit, Add and View and you will see LWUIT automatically does this that the first added Command comes on one soft key and rest others are clubbed together in an options menu.

Hi im2amit
Thanks for reply.

I Displayed student marks in List
l.addItem("Computer Graphics:75");
l.addItem("Computer Algorithm:82");
..
l.addItem("Total:462");

I want to Hi light the Total as bold or some colored text
Is this possible in List using LWUIT?
Please tell me .

Ya its possible. But table component is better for u. And If u want to show the bold and color text means u want to use ResourceEdit sel#font and Unsel#font like that.

But if u need to show the mark list in List means u can use DefaultListCellRenderer class in ur List.

see this link. it may b helps u.

In your list Render, you will need to overwrite DefaultListCellRendere and check if it the last element of the list, where you are printing the total - change the font to bold and color to which ever you want.
