Hello Everyone

I am following 2 issues.

1. I have an EditField which allows only 7 digits. When all 7 digits are entered, it displays "Field is Full" message.

Is there any way to stop that message from poping up?

2. When ever I enter data in the field and press blackberry application menu and select close. It displays "Changes Made" popup with "Save/Discard/Cancel" buttons.

Is there any way to stop that message from poping up?

Thanks

1. don't limit the field to 7 digits

2. override onSave() in your screen class.

1. i can't see anything in the api that lets you capture the field full event to surpress the status popup. what you could do is override keyChar on your screen and track how many characters have been entered that way. something like this should work:

public boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
switch (key) {
case Characters.BACKSPACE:
return false;
case Characters.ESCAPE:
System.exit(0);
return true;
default:
if (getFieldWithFocus() == entryField) {
if (entryField.getTextLength() < 7) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}else{
return false;
}
}
}

2.

protected boolean onSave() {
close();
return true;
}
