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 ?

try this -

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