Using CPbkContactEditorDlg in S60 3rd ed

[thomasraku]

I am trying to create an application which adds a contact to the contact database.But before adding the user should be able to edit the values in the different fields. So i used the contact editor dialog.but while creating the dialog using NewL a CONE14 error occurs i.e Environment cannot find the specified resource in any resource file The code used is as shown .

void CSendSMSView::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)
    {   
    switch ( aCommand )
        {
           ..
           ..
case ESendSMSCmdAddContact: 
  {
       _LIT(KFname,"Rakesh");
       _LIT(KCompany,"Microsoft");
       _LIT(KMobNo,"9886897435");
	
CPbkContactEngine* iContactEngine = CPbkContactEngine::NewL(NULL);

CleanupStack::PushL(iContactEngine);
				
CPbkContactItem* newItem = iContactEngine->CreateEmptyContactL();
CleanupStack::PushL(newItem);
UpdateFieldL(newItem,EPbkFieldIdPhoneNumberMobile,KMobNo);
UpdateFieldL( newItem, EPbkFieldIdFirstName,KFname);
UpdateFieldL(newItem,EPbkFieldIdCompanyName,KCompany); 
				
//TContactItemId contactId;
//contactId = iContactEngine->AddNewContactL(*newItem);

			
CPbkContactEditorDlg* contactEditorDlg = CPbkContactEditorDlg::NewL(*iContactEngine,*newItem,ETrue);
				CleanupStack::PushL(contactEditorDlg);
	contactEditorDlg->ExecuteLD();
	CleanupStack::Pop(contactEditorDlg);
	CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(newItem);
	CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(iContactEngine);
	break;
			
}

I was succesful in adding the contact if i uncomment the commented lines but i require an editor(UI).
Is there any other editor to do this ?
Expecting some help on this

i have solved the above problem .For anyone who needs it later i am adding the solution.

There is a 'RPbkViewResourceFile' which should be used to load the resource dll , before we can use the editordlg.The dll can be loaded using OpenL() function in this class

Here is an alternative solution that worked for me:

#ifdef __SERIES60_30__
resourceFileName = _L("z:\\resource\\pbkview.rsc");
#else
resourceFileName = _L("z:\\system\\data\\pbkview.rsc");
#endif
BaflUtils::NearestLanguageFile(CEikonEnv::Static()->FsSession(), resourceFileName);
iPBkResourceFileId = CEikonEnv::Static()->AddResourceFileL(resourceFileName);

Thank god I found this post. The "CONE 14" panic just bugged me for hours.

I think the document should be more accurate, or just need a update?

Just in case someone else later need it, maybe myself. :-)

RPbkViewResourceFile rpbkViewRscFile(*CEikonEnv::Static());
rpbkViewRscFile.OpenL();

CPbkContactEngine *pbkContactEngine = CPbkContactEngine::NewL();
CPbkContactItem *pbkContactItem = pbkContactEngine->CreateEmptyContactL();

CPbkContactEditorDlg *pbkEditor = CPbkContactEditorDlg::NewL(*pbkContactEngine, *pbkContactItem, true, 0);
pbkEditor->HideExitCommand();
pbkEditor->ExecuteLD();

delete pbkContactItem;
delete pbkContactEngine;
