Message popup if IMPLICIT List element is selected?

[stechbeitel]

Hello,

i would like to implement an automatic Popup if a Listelement is selcted. For example, i use a
Nokia N81. In the main screen (Where the battery status and these thinks are displayed) is a List
with contacts, SMS... you only have to select one Listitem and the Popup whith a short description is displayed
for around 1 second. These are the Popups i want to use. What kind of Element is it? Is this kind of Popup usable
for every IMPLICIT List?

Best regards

Hi,
can u tell me that the items u want to show in list are static or dynamic in nature?
If they are static ie number of items in list are fixed then i suggest u to append string items on Form and to implement with ItemsStateListener. Whenever the state of item changes it automatically calls itemStateChanged(item) function where u set alert for each item which is currently selected for 1 sec or more with description.

Else better to take canvas for customised UI.

Hello,

the items in the list are implemented if the object of the class is created. There is only a
explicit refresh possible.
The problem with the alert is that it appears on the whole screen. Maybe Popup is the wrong
word for what i want to have. What i want is like a tooltip in windows, you put your mouse over an icon and a small
tooltip appears (No click or something else is needed).
Any ideas?

Sorry, High level API dont give so much flexibility to show UI according to us. Whatever u want to do is not possible with High Level API yet. You have to use low level canvas for customizing UI.

All right, i think i will try it with the alert. Thanks a lot anyway.
