disallowing users from editing/adding labels and deleting fields in my form?

[advocatee]

Hi

I wish for users to be able to edit my form fields, but to disable them from editing/adding labels and deleting fields in my form.

This features are provided by the form options menu once in edit mode.

i tried taking away the EEikDialogFlagCbaButtons flag from the form resource, hopefully taking away the menu, well it didn't work.

What should i do?

thanks

Hi

I think that the easiest way would be to disable the menus for the options you don't want users to use. To do that just implements DynInitMenuPaneL()-function for your form and in there the resource menupane is R_AVKON_FORM_MENUPANE (see AVKON.RSG), and the menu ID's can be find from AVKON.HRH. Example of hoe to use the function goes like this:

//start code
void CMyForm:ynInitMenuPaneL (TInt aResourceId, CEikMenuPane *aMenuPane)
{
CAknForm:ynInitMenuPaneL(aResourceId,aMenuPane);

if (aResourceId == R_AVKON_FORM_MENUPANE) //see AVKON.RSG !
{
aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdAdd,ETrue); //see AVKON.HRH !
aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdLabel,ETrue);
aMenuPane->SetItemDimmed(EAknFormCmdDelete,ETrue);
}
}

//End code
