Answer 1

I do not recommend using a series of Managers as you are trying to do. Instead create a Manager that actually lays out the Fields tjhat you want, in the place that you want them. Coded correctly you can use one Manager and have that Manager cope with the vagaries of the various size BlackBerry screens to make sure it looks OK regardless of the device your user has. You can also factor in the size of the Buttons, which must be larger for touch screen devices, and more easily manage focus movement on track pad devices.

Yes, there is a bit of learning involved, but for me, the result will be better than trying to manage a series of VFMs and HFMs.

To understand how to do this, I recommend reviewing the following:

Note particularly the requirements in MainScreen to ensure that your Manager is told the real estate size that it has available.

Answer 2

i have finally got the answer to my screen.

i have used the Grid Manager to make the fields display in order i wanted and i have used the Image button Custom to make it result up-to the mark..

thanks guys for all your support and help..
