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!
Often the most important part of the news is what they didn't tell.
