Because of my need to change the labels on buttons in a form at runtime, I decided to superimpose fields on buttons. I am working with Metrowerks Code Warrior and I found out that ordering the declaration of field and button are significant in the .rcp file.
After experimentation I had thought that I had the problem conquered when I noticed that some machines out in production couldn?t handle superimpose. It seems that the order of logical stacking of button and field are different in the machines that do not work (Clie, etc.)
I finally came up with capturing taps on the fields and converting them to field IDs and processing the field IDs as well.
Kludgy? I have to say yes. Anybody have a better design?

Hi Michael,
For this kind of custom control, I would suggest you to implement your button as a Gadget. Although it takes extra coding, you can totally control what you want and avoid getting into the difficulties you have mentioned.
