Hello,

is it possible for an app running in the background using the following code to listen to key events while it is still in hte BG? if yes how to do it, if not how to achieve it?

Code:
TApaTaskList taskList(CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession());
TApaTask task = taskList.FindByPos(0);
CApaWindowGroupName* wgName = CApaWindowGroupName::NewLC(CCoeEnv::Static()->WsSession(), task.WgId());
if (wgName->AppUid().iUid == 0xA000017F)
     task.SendToBackground();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(wgName);

You have a "CaptureKey" primitive which can do that. Don't remember which class has it however.

Re: Listening to key events from app in the background
Thanx Eric,

i checked in teh documentation and found that this cunction belongs to RWindowGroup class. What is the way to get a handle to the WidnowGroup object of my client window session? I know how to get the RWindow and RWsSession but never tried getting RWindowGroup! I checked in the SDK but could not find anything. Any idea how?

cheers

i think i found it. though i think it has bad naming, as it does not reflect its exact purpose.

RWIndowGrou wg = iCoeEnv->RootWin();

i will try this and c what would happen.

cheers
