Re: How to let custom CBA button to display a custom menupane ?

Eric.Pen — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:06:47 +0200

Finally , i found the solution for my question.

RESOURCE CBA R_CBA_ESC_OPOTIONS
{
buttons=
{
CBA_BUTTON
{
id = EBACK;
txt = R_QTN_ESC;
},
CBA_BUTTON
{
id =EOPTIONS   ; //command
txt = R_QTN_LOGIN;
}
};
}

//in the constructor of form 
CAknForm::ConstructL(R_MY_MENUBAR);

//handle the command of cba and display the menubar
TBool InputForm::OkToExitL( TInt aButtonId )
{
      //..
        case EOPTIONS://in this dialog
            CAknForm::DisplayMenuL();
        return EFalse;

}

// handle the menubar command in the menupane
void InputForm::ProcessCommandL( TInt aCommandId )
{
        switch(aCommandId)
        {
              //...
         }
        CAknForm::ProcessCommandL( aCommandId );
}


//if need to hide the default form menu
void InputForm::DynInitMenuPaneL( TInt aResourceId, CEikMenuPane* aMenuPane )
{
        CAknForm::DynInitMenuPaneL( aResourceId, aMenuPane );
        if (aResourceId == R_AVKON_FORM_MENUPANE)
        {
                // Default behavior handled in AknForm is suitable for this
                // form
                // If not, comment out and modify the following lines
                TBool editOptionDimmed = IsEditable();
                aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdEdit, editOptionDimmed);
                aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdLabel, ETrue);
                aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdAdd, ETrue);
                aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdDelete, ETrue);
                aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdSave, ETrue);
        }                
}

Re: Turning off new S60 browser preview window for CBrCtlInterfa

brian.egan — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:31:20 +0200

Looking at the browser application on the N95 8GB I see that this feature is called "MiniMap". There is an option in the settings to turn it on and off. So it must be possible to do this programatically.... ???

For transparent blits to work, you have to set ENullBrush, or it will fill in the brush color in the "transparent" areas.
Maybe that is your problem.

Also, if your component is "window owning", and you don't draw the whole window area, the areas you don't draw will be cleared to the clear color.

Its not possible to get window owning components transparent, since window transparency is not enabled.

If that is your case, you will have to make your component non-window owning and a child of the parent control.

Only limitation with that is that it can't extend outside of the parent controls area.

Afaik controls don't have "borders" as such so I bet you set the dimensions wrongly (don't you call TRect::Shrink() somewhere?). Can you show a screenshot?

Yes , I have added this function to my custom button class but still its surrounding rectangle is coming white , do I need to change any thing
in parent control of custom button in which I am drawing the background image, or may be any thing to change in view.

Thanks

Hmm, what if you add this to the class, too?

TTypeUid::Ptr CFooContainer::MopSupplyObject( TTypeUid aId )
    {
    if ( aId.iUid == MAknsControlContext::ETypeId && iBackground )
        {
        return MAknsControlContext::SupplyMopObject( aId, iBackground );
        }

    return CCoeControl::MopSupplyObject( aId );
    }

lvsti — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:53:10 +0200

Try this:

void CFooContainer::ConstructL( const TRect& aRect )
    {
    ...

    iBackground = CAknsBasicBackgroundControlContext::NewL( 
                              KAknsIIDQsnBgAreaMain, aRect, EFalse );

    ...
    }

void CFooContainer::Draw( const TRect& aRect ) const
    {
    CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();
    if ( iBackground )
        {
        MAknsSkinInstance* skin = AknsUtils::SkinInstance();        
        AknsDrawUtils::Background( skin, iBackground, this, gc, aRect );
        }    
    }

But Hopefully,

you can do this only on FP2 s60-devices.
currently, only six s60 3rd Edition Fp2 devices are in market.

I don't think you can put a bitmap into a CBA on S60. Then you will have to do your own custom CBA.
