Joining List + Canvas

[erdnamit]

Hi,

I want to design a Menu with different Font and Color.
Is it possible to use a List with Canvas Objects?
If not , whats the easiest possible way to do this?

Plz Help

It's not possible to combine a List and a Canvas. You'll need to develop you own widget for that.
I started working on a little side project like that but have put it aside because I'm kinda busy at work. Since I'm in a good mood today I thought why not share a little.
It's not finished so it doesn't look good and I'm not very satisfied with the overall design, but the functionality is mostly there and maybe you can find some use for it:

One more thing, if you improve it or add to it or anything don't be shy to share it back with the community.

I did compile it an its running. I took UItest as starting class, but all I see is "H1". I can hit buttons nothing happens besides H1 is moving.
I tried it on a 3410 and 3650 Emulator!
Do I have to take a different Emulator ?

The HiddenMenu class is set up so that the menu pops up when Canvas.GAME_A is pressed. I've tested it on the 3510i where GAME_A is the 7 key.
You can either figure out what is GAME_A on your emulator or go into the HiddenMenu's keyPressed and change it to pop up on any key you like.
As you can see all these values are hard-coded which is just one of the things wrong with the code.

Thx , I found the key on 3650.
This is great. Just what i was looking for!
I'm not long in Midleting , this really gives me an idea.

Thx so much

Shmoove, I am sorry but I seem not to be able to compile the widget.

I am failing to find the Fullcanvas for the part

UITestCanvas extends FullCanvas

Any ideas where it went???

I am also trying to create my menus by drawing using custom fnts and backgrounds...and maybe move to a bit of animation.

The idea neing to create a widget that can easily be re-Used in creating menu's and submenus.
