ok, I was able to get it really close but creating my own Multibutton and
then overriding calcPreferredSize() for the container. (it worked using
setPreferredSize() on the container, but of course there's that deprecated
warning). I dont get the ellipses though
Container cnt = new Container(layout) {
@Override
protected Dimension calcPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(
(int)(Display.getInstance().getDisplayWidth()*.2), 75);
}
};
