Mobile Programming Question

Is it possible to automatically scroll down in a form on a mobile applet so that a field half way down the form is the active one? I have a screen with about 15 or so fields, and some of them can be set by default, but it's still a pain to scroll down to the other ones, is there something like "setCurrentItem" function available anywhere for the Form or Display object on MIDP??

Or should I just try redesigning the UI

Im thinking you are talking about something similar to an #anchor in HTML?

would it be possible to use the 'focus' command as in Jscript and regular java?

Java? .NET Mobile? C++? Symbian?

Thanks Damalo, something along those lines is what I'm looking for

aidan, It's in Java, I'm using Nokia's developement kit for Series 60

does it not move when you set the focus?

Not 100% sure of the specifics of how it works but I think its a step in the right direction

How do you set the focus? I've searched the API and came up blank
