pop up notes on display of container

[joteddy123]

hi,
we are creating an expense calculator application in carbide v2.0.We want the appplication to show a note during the first day of the month asking the user to enter his budget.So we tried writing a code which displays the note when the first container view opens.But it wont execute the function.No matter what we try a note refuses to display on initialisation of the first container of the application.Is it possible to do that?Where are we going wrong?

on which function you are trying to call the Note Dialog.

note: your problem is no way related to carbide.c++ so please try using correct Forum Section.

Is this Symbian code, or something else ?

You should always put the questions under correct technology section according to the implementation technology you are using. Anyway,

what kind of code are you using ?
What parts of it does execute ?
And what does not ?

Ya this application is being designed using carbide c++ for symbian OS.I dnt understand how our problem isnt related to carbide c++ ide.we have tried calling the note function using expContainer->RunNote1L(&msg) in the Initialise controls function belonging to the container class.That didnt work.We have tried calling the function in the container's constructor,activateL function but nothing works.What actually is my problem?coding error or something else?

[skumar_rao]

can you show use the code where you call the dialog.

note: the section of the DiBo is only for problems related to Carbide.c++ . and your is a coding error.

This is what we did.and can u also elaborate on DIBo?

void CExpContainer::InitializeControlsL()
{
iLabel1 = new ( ELeave ) CEikLabel;
iLabel1->SetContainerWindowL( *this );
{
TResourceReader reader;
iEikonEnv->CreateResourceReaderLC( reader, R_EXP_CONTAINER_LABEL1 );
iLabel1->ConstructFromResourceL( reader );
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // reader internal state
}

BudgetPopL();
}
void CExpContainer::BudgetPopL()
{
TTime iTime;
TBuf<16> buf1,buf2,buf3;
TBufC<32> msg;
CExpContainer* expContainer;
msg = _L("Enter the Budget for the current month!");
iTime.HomeTime();
TDateTime dateTime = iTime.DateTime();
_LIT(KFormatTxt1,"%/0%1%");
iTime.FormatL(buf1,KFormatTxt1);
_LIT(KFormatTxt2,"%/1%2%");
iTime.FormatL(buf2,KFormatTxt2);
_LIT(KFormatTxt3,"%/2%3%");
iTime.FormatL(buf3,KFormatTxt3);

CexpbDatabase* expbDb = CexpbDatabase::NewL();
TexpbTableItem iexpbTableItem;
TexpbTableItem Bnew;

Bnew= expbDb->GetexpbTableLastRecordL(iexpbTableItem);

if (TInt(Bnew.iexpbMonth)==buf2 && TInt(Bnew.iexpbYear)==buf3 && buf1==1)
{
expContainer->RunNote1L(&msg);
}
}

[skumar_rao]

can you replace

if (TInt(Bnew.iexpbMonth)==buf2 && TInt(Bnew.iexpbYear)==buf3 && buf1==1)
{
expContainer->RunNote1L(&msg);
}

with

expContainer->RunNote1L(&msg);

also carbide.c++ generates static methods, so try using directly.
