Hi,
I am adding a set controls to a vertical manager iteratively. All the controls are being added to the manager as new instances, as the same set is being added again and again.I need to finally get values from these controls after addition of a certain no of them have been added. I am guessing i would probably need to get some sort of " id " if i need to access them. How should i go about it...

You can either keep the references to the Fields in variables or collections as they are created, or you can use net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager.getFieldCount() and net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager.getField(int index) to find the fields you want and get the values.

I cannot keep reference of the fields when they are being added cos i can only take the values after more than a couple of instances have been added. I have to give the user ability to modify the contents at any point of time and to any instance of the controls.And the problem with using field count is that it only retrieves the values of the last instance. It does not consider the previous instances created. I need all the instances values to be taken at one go ..

for (int i = 0; i < manager.getFieldCount(); i++ ) {
    Field field = manager.getField(i);
    // process the field value
}

Hi,
I am using 4 different managers at the same time. I ve actually solved the problem i was having a new manager within the main manager and adding all instances to the same manager instead of adding it to many different managers.
Anyways thanks for helping me out..
