Center Command in midlet

[hurmin]

Hi friends,

I would like to know how to add a label for the Center Command button. Apparently the center button is the same as the Command.OK button, but i've changed mine according to the keyCode of the center button.

How would i go about adding the Label for the center button.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I guess you are working with canvas..correct...
Well thats not impossible...follow like this...
@ Draw the String at the exact location...I means center and just below the fire key..ok
I hope you can draw the string ..
if no then read the method,
public void setLeftRightFireSoftKey( String leftString , String rightString , String fireString )
{
if( leftString != null )
{
g.setColor( 255 , 255 ,255 );
g.setFont(FONT_BOLD_SMALL);
g.drawString( leftString , 2 , getHeight() , g.LEFT | g.BOTTOM );
}
if ( rightString != null )
{
g.setColor( 255 , 255 ,255 );
g.setFont(FONT_BOLD_SMALL);
g.drawString( rightString , getWidth() , getHeight() , g.RIGHT | g.BOTTOM );
}
if ( fireString != null )
{
g.setColor( 255 , 255 ,255 );
g.setFont(FONT_BOLD_SMALL);
g.drawString( fireString , getWidth()/2 , getHeight() , g.BOTTOM| g.HCENTER );
}
}

Hope this helps you,
Thanks,

Thanks raj_J2ME,

great idea, ill try that when i get home tonight.

Is there no center command in the nokia/samsung/SE etc. SDK? Just seems weird..

Would it be possible to add Center command when working with a Form?

Hi,
Let me move step by step,
@ There is not center command..just center key is used for selection..

@ No I guess that can not be done..You can add the command only on the soft keys..

However you can do follow the same as I told you in last post..

Hope this can help you,
Thanks,

Well for some items in a Form you can customize the select key's label using setDefaultCommand(...):

//For example, in a DateField
public DateField df=new DateField("DateField Example 1", DateField.DATE_TIME);
public Command sel=new Command("My Label", Command.SCREEN, 1);
df.setDefaultCommand(sel);
