Figured it out... but was HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS (not select) I was trying to turn off. For others, this is what I did:
Code:
tab1 = new LabelField(tab1Label, tabStyle) {
protected void drawFocus(Graphics g, boolean on){
XYRect rect = new XYRect();
getFocusRect(rect);
drawHighlightRegion(g, HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS, false, rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, rect.height);
}
};
Works like a charm. I'm finally grasping the API docs.
