Hi,
I am working on some phone book application. I am just trying to hide a field added by my application into CContactDatabase by using SetHidden(ETrue) function from class CContactItemField. But it is not working. i need to know how i can hide a particular field which is added by my application. Thanks Shobhit |

What exactly do you mean by "it'n norking"? When you retrieve back the contact item the field does not have the hidden property set to true? Or?

The contact item is added in to the native phone book application from my application.
i want to hide field of this item from my application.
So when i launch native symbian phone book application this contact item field should be in hidden mode.
i used SetHidden(ETrue) function of class CContactItemField but it is not working

As far as i know the default phone book will ignore hidden attribute for certain fields..

Hi
I would like to hide one of the fields of the Contact item from the Phone book application. Is it possible ? As I guess the Set Hidden ()attribute of the CContactItemField makes it hidden only from CContactFilteredView where we explicitly mention that we dont want hidden entries.

There are multiple questions......Do you want to hide contact items or fields?

Ok heres is the problem scenario . I add a new contact with 4 fields say Name , second name , Mobile Home and Mobile Office. I do this by using APIs CContactItemField and CContactItem . I want this contact to show only the Mobile Home and not the Mobile Office when the Phonebook application of the phone is opened to see the contacts. So in short can we hide some fields of a contact item ?

You'll have to use SetHidden.....but..in the case of Phonebook application the that field will be still shown (if it's a standard field).

As far as I know you can't hide fields from templates from Phonebook application (as Phonebook application will just ignore that flag).
Though you can hide custom fields.....
But really this has to be tested between UI platforms (UIQ/S60 2nd and 3rd edition)....
