Hi,

If I want to place my fields to specific place of the screen, what is the way to?

For example , if I want to specify a pixel coordinate.

You have to subclass from a manager, then control the layout of the children. There is an example of that here.

Hum I'm not sure to understand the kind of code you give there.

Could you explicit it a little more??

[goulamass]

No one can tell me how to place field where I want???

In fact this link doesn't help me.

I try that but nothing appears.

Have I something special to make with myScreen??

Goulamass,

You either utilize one of the stock layout managers, which place the Fields according to their design (like HorizontalFieldManager or VerticalFieldManager, etc), or you utilize a combination of these, or you write your own custom layout manager.

Although you can place fields at a particular x-y position using your own layout manager, this would probably not be considered "best practice".

Perhaps if you explain what type of layout you are looking for, someone may be able to suggest a method of accomplishing your goal.

Hum that is what I understood.

So I try to simply use a VerticalFieldManager.

But the setPositionChild seems to do not work
