I have done with ObjectChoiceField customization and it works fine. But when I press myobjectchoiceField, it will show "the content list" hover on it. It's not looked quite good because myobjectField was set on the left of the screen. So I want to move "the content list"(not a drop down) to the center of the screen. Can anybody tell me how to do this ?

Here this is a code :

if (DopDownImgOn instanceof Bitmap) {

visibleText = (getSelectedIndex() == -1 || getSelectedIndex() >= m_Choices.length) ? ""
: m_Choices[getSelectedIndex()];

if (_hasFocus == false) {
g.drawBitmap(0, 0, DopDownImgOff.getWidth(), DopDownImgOff
.getHeight(), DopDownImgOff, 0, 0);
} else {
g.drawBitmap(0, 0, DopDownImgOn.getWidth(), DopDownImgOn
.getHeight(), DopDownImgOn, 0, 0);
}

g.drawText(visibleText, m_TextMarginRight, m_MarginTop,
DrawStyle.ELLIPSIS, DopDownImgOn.getWidth() - 30);

g.setFont(FONT_PLAIN);
// g.pushContext(clip, xOffset, yOffset);

// g.popContext();
}
invalidate();
}

}
I tried to use CustomLongChoiceField.FIELD_HCENTER and myObjectChoiceField(a drop down) was changed to field in right to center.Thats not what I want to do.
Please help

Thanks ,
