JDE 4.7, I can show text, I have this;

add(new RichTextField("Line One" ,Field.FOCUSABLE));

How do I include a web link? I don't care if it's hidden.

I looked through the RIM API's and I don't see what I think I need.

Allow me to restate the question.

How do I include any clickable dynamic text?

Example: a web link in email, a phone number, or a pin number..
The text of the link appears in the email on the device, when you click it, it opens the browser. Or when clicking on a phone number, it opens the phone and dials it.

I saw an earlier post/response that lead me to ObjectListField....
I reviewed the API Info/Help and a few J2ME books over the last 2 days, I don't understand what I'm reading about it.
I've looked through the JDE samples and I must have overlooked what I need.
I've collected several J2ME books, and reviewed them, nothing has helped.

Maybe someone could give me a hint at which sample uses dynamic text.

Or have I missed the point entirely and must create these routines in my program?

Use ActiveRichTextField - this control will recognize certain well-known types of text like a URL or phone number, and place the appopriate context menu item on your menu.

You can also add you own handler - see the API docs for StringPattern and StringPatternRepository. There is also a KB artiucle on the subject if you search for these keywords.

I overlooked ActiveRichTextField completely.

I'll look these up and let you know how it goes....

Thanks, that worked perfectly, no muss, no fuss.

add(new RichTextField("A phone number to call in the U.S.",Field.NON_FOCUSABLE));
add(new ActiveRichTextField("1-800-555-1212",Field.FOCUSABLE));
add(new RichTextField("An Email Address to use.",Field.NON_FOCUSABLE));
add(new ActiveRichTextField("support@rim.com",Field.FOCUSABLE));

I added this after the compiler burped;

import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.ActiveRichTextField;
