I belive that isnt possible, because, textfield can only be attached in form component..
Look for JME documentation to figure out more details

Yes its not possible to use form and canvas components together ! According to me but there must be some other way out for it i guess.

Technically, you can't create a textfield in a canvas, but I think you can create a textfield overlay on a canvas. By which I mean that the 2 controls (textfield and canvas) occupy the same part of the screen (layout manager permitting), but the Z order of the textfield puts it in front of the canvas.

Just be careful when implementing the paint code so that the canvas does, in fact render behind the text control!

Yes, You can create textfield using Canvas, though its quite lengthy and difficult

1. Override the paint method
2. Draw rectangle and use the font to be used to type
3. Override keypressed event and check which key is pressed and repaint it.

These are just guideliness.
