Series60 - Query dialog with custom text

[stew_mclean]

Hi all,

Im looking for a way to create a yes/no query dialog, but rather than yes/no (or ok/cancel) I'd like it to be Login/Register. Alternatively, any other suggestions of a suitable way of make the user make such a choice are welcome.

I guess I could word the text of a Yes/No to be something like
'Have you already registered?', but thats a real last resort.



Cheers,
Stew

you could set the texts, by defining your own buttons in the resource definition for your query dialog.

Thanks Yucca. Didn't know you could do that; didn't (and still dont) see any mention of it in the sdk documentation.

Just says:

buttons Set the type of soft key.
R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OK_CANCEL : OK/Cancel
R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_YES_NO : Yes/No



Know of any comprehensive resource file documentation? - that is where I seem to get stuck the most. I've got a few books, but its all just selected examples.

Hi

I have been quite happy with the standard buttons in the queries, but anyway you could try something like this, it might work (haven't tried myself, so don't really know)

RESOURCE CBA r_mycba_cba
{
buttons=
{
CBA_BUTTON
{
id=EAknSoftkeyOk;
txt="Register";
},
CBA_BUTTON
{
id=EAknSoftkeyCancel;
txt="Login";
}
};
}

That works great Yucca, thanks.

I've learned more from reading your posts (not just to my questions) than from the sdk docs and both my books put together.

Keep up your contributions. Thanks.
