I am trying to implement a custom CCoeControl to replace the Navigation Pane. While my CCoeControl is working and drawing fine, I cannot retrieve the automatically the position and size it shall have (those of the navigation pane):

Code:
   CEikStatusPane *sp = ((CAknAppUi*)iEikonEnv->EikAppUi())->StatusPane();
   iNaviPane = (CAknNavigationControlContainer*)
                     sp->ControlL(TUid::Uid(EEikStatusPaneUidNavi));
   CMyPane* myPane=CMyPane::NewL(TRect(TPoint(0,0),TSize(176,32))); // <-- Dummy values
   iNaviDecorator = CAknNavigationDecorator::NewL(iNaviPane,MyPane);
   iNaviPane->PushL(*iNaviDecorator);


I tried iNaviPane->Top()->DecoratedControl()->Rect() instead of the TRect(TPoint(0,0),TSize(176,32)) above but this was not working probably because I just have an empty pane by default.

Is there no way to retrieve to get myPane's TRect specified automatically ?

[Update]: the size looks correctly set by NS60 framework, but it still does not display at the correct position....

Thanks
Eric

A pretty stupid solution could be to get the usable area using ClientRect() from the AppUi , before you flush the standard NaviPane. From ClientRect, you'll get the values iTL and iBr of the usable area. Then the NaviPane is probably:
 Top Left = (0,0)
 Bottom right = (iBR.X, iTL.Y)

Ie, the Navipane stops where the usable area would start...

That's just an idea, don't know if it is somehow functional.

Hi Eric,

Did you finally manage to find some solution to your problem, described in the original post?

Thanks,

I think you should try this:

TRect paneRect = StatusPane()->PaneRectL(TUid::Uid(EEikStatusPaneUidNavi));
