Hi I had to create tabs in blackberry so for this this i tried a custom way which fulfilled my requirement.May be u can use and customize this idea.

1) create a method addTab() in a class and place say 5 bitmap fields(components) in that. 2) place these components in an horizontal field manager 3) addTab() method must return this manager. 4) create a method result() in that class that must be called whenever the components(Bitmap fields) are clicked.

Now in your main class wherever you want to display the tabs: 1) create object for that class and do

add(obj.addTab());

or u can do :

setStatus(obj.addTab());

depending upon your requirement
