Disappearing buttons in BlackBerry HorizontalFieldManager

Question

I ma new to BB development. I have a field manager defined and set like:

horizontalField= new HorizontalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
setStatus(horizontalField);

I have a button and a checkbox

CheckboxField chkBuffer=new CheckboxField("Buffer" ,true);

ButtonField sendButton=new ButtonField("Send")

When I try to add these to the horizontal FM, only check box appears and the button is not visible for some reason. I add them like

 horizontalField.add(chkBuffer);

 horizontalField.add(sendButton);

Any ideas about what can be going wrong ?

This will also help you and is easy too:

horizontalField.add(chkBuffer);

sendButton.setMargin(0, 0, 0, Display.getWidth()-chkBuffer.getPreferredWidth()-sendButton.getPreferredWidth());

horizontalField.add(sendButton);

Take a look at this also.

try this -

  final CheckboxField chk=new CheckboxField(){
        protected void layout(int width, int height) {
            super.layout(25, 20);
        }
    };

I get an error for the layout method saying : Cannot override the final method from Manager – Cemre Mengü Oct 17 '12 at 06:01
This works but it displays it very poorly. I don't even get to see the text. I tried to change the width but nothing happened. Any ways to make it look better ? – Cemre Mengü Oct 17 '12 at 07:41
change 25 to a bigger value. (say 100), then it will display the full text. – Rince Thomas Oct 17 '12 at 07:53
