How do i update the icon on my Wait dialog at run time?

[itsbharatk]

Hi,
I want to update the icon on my Wait dialog at run time... i.e I will be storing my icon file at a particular place in my phone and update it regularly. I want this icon to be displayed on my Wait dialog. I am using CAknWaitDialog. Does it have any member functions that i can use for using icons? or is there some other class available in Symbian S60 to make this work? Please help...

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

CAknWaitDialog is derived from CEikDialog, so you can try to call SetIconL (or SetImageL()?) method. I'm not sure, which is the proper method and if it will help.

Thanks stenlik,

I tried as you have said but the note is not displaying the image. I am putting the code here, so if you find any fault in it then let me know...

_LIT(KDrawBitmapPath,"c:\\myimage.bmp");
CFbsBitmap* iBitmap;
iBitmap = new (ELeave) CFbsBitmap();
iBitmap->Load(KDrawBitmapPath);

CEikImage * aImage;
aImage= new (ELeave) CEikImage();
aImage->SetBitmap(iBitmap);

CAknWaitDialog* iWaitDialog;
iWaitDialog = new ( ELeave ) CAknWaitDialog(
( REINTERPRET_CAST( CEikDialog**, &iWaitDialog ) ), ETrue );
iWaitDialog->PrepareLC( R_WAIT_NOTE_SOFTKEY_CANCEL );
iWaitDialog->SetTextL( _L( "My text" ) );
iWaitDialog->SetImageL(aImage);
iWaitDialog->RunLD();

_LIT(KDrawBitmapPath,"c:\\myimage.bmp");
CFbsBitmap* iBitmap;
iBitmap = new (ELeave) CFbsBitmap();
iBitmap->Load(KDrawBitmapPath);

You cannot do this ...

.bmp is not the Symbian bitmap format...
For using CFbsBitmap you nedd the .mbm file which is the Symbian bitmap format..(.bmp is window's native format)...

Either you have to use .mbm for loading the images or use CImageDecoder for converting .bmp to CfbsBitmap...

Check the wiki for both....

Hi,
I have done the below code, and now i am getting a blank image. Am i still wrong somewhere? Please help..

_LIT(KDrawBitmapPath,"c:\\myimage.bmp");
CFbsBitmap* iBitmap;
iBitmap = new (ELeave) CFbsBitmap();

CImageDecoder* iImageDecoder;
RFs iFs;
iImageDecoder = CImageDecoder::FileNewL( iFs, KDrawBitmapPath );
iBitmap->Create( iImageDecoder->FrameInfo().iOverallSizeInPixels,
iImageDecoder->FrameInfo().iFrameDisplayMode );

CEikImage * aImage;
aImage= new (ELeave) CEikImage();
aImage->SetBitmap(iBitmap);

CAknWaitDialog* iWaitDialog;
iWaitDialog = new ( ELeave ) CAknWaitDialog(
( REINTERPRET_CAST( CEikDialog**, &iWaitDialog ) ), ETrue );
iWaitDialog->PrepareLC( R_WAIT_NOTE_SOFTKEY_CANCEL );

You are not at all converting the image to CFbsBitmap..
