Is there a way to add a textfield to the command bar?

[howud...@gmail.com]

I have a form with a map component.  I want to add a simple search field to the map and dont want to use the entire NORTH section, just a small part between the title and the right command  this.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar(cmdList);

How can I add a textfield to the toolbar?  I tried:

        Command cmd = new Command("");

        cmd.putClientProperty(SideMenuBar.COMMAND_SIDE_COMPONENT, tfGoogleSearch);

        cmd.putClientProperty(SideMenuBar.COMMAND_ACTIONABLE, Boolean.FALSE);

        cmd.putClientProperty("TitleCommand", Boolean.TRUE);

this.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar(cmd);

but that didn't work.  I also tried:

        this.getToolbar().addComponentToSideMenu(tfGoogleSearch);

but that put it in the left fly out menu and I want it in the titlebar

Why not use the search feature:

This is a nice feature and I will use it.   I have three questions:

1.  How can I know if the enter key or search key was pressed?  I dont want to process every single change...remember this is going to be sending requests off to google to plot on the map

2.  After the user presses enter/search on their keyboard and I present the results fro google, how can I hide the searchbar and go back to the normal title bar

3.  What if I dont want to use the search mode and want a textfield in the titlebar for another reason?

Finally this is not a question but a bug.  when activating the search bar in the emulator the keyboard doesn't popup

If you want more control over this functionality check out the javadocs for toolbar where there is a sample of implementing this manually.
