Can we add Canvas on Form.

[atiqe]

i want to add a canvas on Form. is it possible. If yes then how?

I needed Canvas functionality on a form, too. I ended up creating my own CustomItem that I paint as needed.

All the research I did up to the point that I built that control indicated the two (form and canvas) are mutually exclusive.

I'll warn you now, I was so disappointed with the way the form/custom item interacted that I ended up just using a canvas and rolling my own code for everything I needed to display (including a ticker). Specifically, the way scrolling was handled really annoyed me. If a text box was expanded to two lines, my custom item would scroll off the screen - which I did not want to happen.

No, you cannot. If you want to use Canvas, you'll have to use it separately. You can use them together (i.e. switch between them w/ Display) but you can't add a Canvas to a Form.

Hi there, I want to switch from a Form to a Canvas and then fro m Canvas BACK to Form. Userinput is done by Softbuttons. Is there a simple implemenatation for such a purpose available ?

Just add Commands to both Canvas and Form screens, then respond on the commandAction() method to switch views. Almost every Forum Nokia example app has this funcionality, just take a look at some code.
