keyboard for touch input not coming up

Hi,

I am using the following code to open the touch input keyboard but its not coming up. Nothing happens. Am I missing something while doing this?

[CODE] iEditor_Username->SetFocus(ETrue);
iEditor_Username->HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);
MCoeFepAwareTextEditor_Extension1 * extension1 = iEditor_Username->InputCapabilities().FepAwareTextEditor()->Extension1();
CAknEdwinState * aknEdwinState = static_cast<CAknEdwinState *> (extension1->State(KNullUid));
aknEdwinState->ReportAknEdStateEventL(MAknEdStateObserver::EAknEdwinStateInputModeUpdate);
CCoeControl::HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);
[/CODE]

Thanks

Wiki appears to have alternative you could try: [url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/How_to_force_launch_of_VKB_in_CEikEdwin[/url]

It should pop-up by itself , when clicking on text editor field. For eg:

[code]
void CClassContainer::HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent& aPointerEvent)
{
switch (aPointerEvent.iType)
{
case TPointerEvent::EButton1Down:
{
iClickDownPosition = aPointerEvent.iPosition;

if (iRectSearchBoxEditor.Contains(iClickDownPosition)) // a rect which contains editor
{
iEditor_Username->SetFocus(ETrue);
}

else
iEditor_Username->SetFocus(EFalse);

}
break;
}
CCoeControl::HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);
DrawNow();
}
[/code]

thats what i am doing vineet. here is the full code:

As of now i am not calculating the exact position of editor rect. i want to launch VKB on touching anywhere on the screen.

[CODE]void CNymgoTouchLoginContainer::HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent& aPointerEvent)
{
switch(aPointerEvent.iType)
{
case TPointerEvent::EButton1Up:
{
iEditor_Username->SetFocus(ETrue, EDrawNow);
iEditor_Username->HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);
MCoeFepAwareTextEditor_Extension1 * extension1 = iEditor_Username->InputCapabilities().FepAwareTextEditor()->Extension1();
CAknEdwinState * aknEdwinState = static_cast<CAknEdwinState *> (extension1->State(KNullUid));
aknEdwinState->ReportAknEdStateEventL(MAknEdStateObserver::EAknActivatePenInputRequest);
CCoeControl::HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);

default:
CCoeControl::HandlePointerEventL(aPointerEvent);
}
}
[/CODE]

Did i miss something here?

Already added this container on the control stack?

you got that right. had added but was commented :P ...working now...

thanks

another issue now.

the VKB comes up and i can input the characters as well but not deleting the characters.

i mean can't erase what i typed. anything else to do? i did it previously on 3rd edition and i remember nothing else was required. VKB handled all by itself once appeared on screen.

Implement OfferKeyEvent() as well along with HandlePointerEventL(), calling inside it the offerkeyeventL() for editor.

yes that worked
