Hello,

If you want really cool about dialog you can create your own control and attach that to the dialog. See CreateCustomControlL from SDK. Unfortunately i'm going to sauna, and therefore no time to write complex example just now. Try to seek if found any examples how to use that CreateCustomControlL, if not lucky please ask again and i will write the example. Using your own control the dialog can contain graphics and text with free layout. Because there is no need for userinteractions it is not so difficult to write own control.

The other way: Not so cool way to implement is to use readymade controls on the dialog...this means you define (on resource file) what controls should be on your dialog and then you write a container (dialog class) for those controls. This examples can be found in many places, i think.

Hai ,
I couldn't find any example for putting customised controls on dialog.please send me if u have any sample code to .
I tried with CAknMessageQueryControl.But it is crashing when i call RuLD().the resource i used for this is

RESOURCE DIALOG r_tsipgui_list_about_heading_pane
{
flags = EGeneralQueryFlags;
buttons = R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OK_EMPTY;
items =
{
DLG_LINE
{
type = EAknCtMessageQuery;
id = ETSipGuiAboutId;
control = AVKON_MESSAGE_QUERY
{
message = "Test";
};
}
};
}


and the code for calling the dialog is

CAknMessageQueryDialog* dlg = new (ELeave) CAknMessageQueryDialog();

dlg->PrepareLC(R_TSIPGUI_LIST_ABOUT_HEADING_PANE);

dlg->SetMessageTextL(_L("Application Name Ver. 1.0\nCompany\nCompanyWebsite"));

dlg->SetHeaderTextL(_L("About"));

dlg->RunLD();//crashing at this position

is there any thing wrong in resource or code?
