Cascaded menu problem with E51(FP1) phones

[Bernard Merlyn]

Hello,

I have used two levels of cascading. when menu is close second sub menu (r_Second_submenu) is retained on view until the view is refreshed.. The problem does not occurs on MR phones.

RESOURCE MENU_PANE r_main_menu
{
items =
{

MENU_ITEM { command = EMainMenuCommand1 ;
txt = STRING_MainMenuText1;
cascade = r_first_submenu;
},


MENU_ITEM {
command = EmainMenuCommand2;
txt = STRING_MainMenuText2;
}

};
}
RESOURCE MENU_PANE r_first_submenu
{
items =
{

MENU_ITEM { command = EFistSubmenuCommand1 ;
txt = STRING_FistSubmenuText1;
cascade = r_Second_submenu;
}

};
}
RESOURCE MENU_PANE r_Second_submenu
{
items =
{

MENU_ITEM
{
command = ESecondSubmenucommad1;
flags = EEikMenuItemRadioStart | EEikMenuItemSymbolOn;
txt =STRING_second_submenu1;
},
MENU_ITEM
{
command = ESecondSubmenucommad2;
flags = EEikMenuItemRadioMiddle ;
txt =STRING_second_submenu2 ;
},
MENU_ITEM
{
command = ESecondSubmenucommad3;
flags = EEikMenuItemRadioEnd;
txt =STRING_second_submenu3;
}

};

};
}

According to S60 style guide you should only use two level menus, not three or more. And E51 is not the only effected device.

Bernard, did you find a better solution to this problem?
I was doing some E51 tests recently and ran into exactly the same problem.

I really do need a 'third-level' cascade menu because it is the most
suitable usage for my purposes than a 'settings view'.
I also don't want to have more than 6 items in a single menu.

I was unable to find a solution, so used a setting item List (CAknSettingItemList) instead

yeah, I also came to the conclusion that a settings-list
was the only way to get an extra level of submenu selection :(

I'll be working on my menu redesign this week.

Thanks for the link.
