Using Eclipse, and the latest version of J2ME integrated into it, I'm
attempting to create a GUI, with 2 or three buttons at the top and a
non-editable text box under those.

This is meant to run on a Pocket PC/PDA, and hence has a touch-screen
- but I can't create simple buttons in J2me; all I need is a sample
Midlet that has the 3 buttons and the text box. Pressing a button
should create an event displayed in the text box (previous events not
deleted, but new event message is concatenated to the old message;
auto-scrolling down)

Thanks

Hello Spinal,

When you say "using Eclipse w/ latest J2ME integrated", do you mean
that you are also using "EclipseME as described at:
  http://eclipseme.org/docs/index.html

If not, I suggest you follow the instructions there to aid in your
development. In addition, I suggest you also review
  http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/ui/GuiTests.java
and the article at
  http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/ui/
which describes the API, the code, and testing.
 
You may be running into problems since Midlet is not a subset of one
of the regular GUI interfaces.

Thanks to maniac-ga; I have managed to avoid the whole scenario and
not use the touch screen... How sad, but I guess its life...

Now I just use the standard MIDP UDLR, select and cancel buttons...
Thanks though!
