Hey,

U can use the following code to create ur own CBA buttons

RESOURCE CBA r_cba_button1_button2
{
buttons =
{
CBA_BUTTON {id=EButton1;
txt = "Button1";},
CBA_BUTTON {id=EButton2;
txt = "Button2"; }
};
}

then in your view:-

iAvkonAppUi->Cba()->SetCommandSetL(R_CBA_BUTTON1_BUTTON2);
iAvkonAppUi->Cba()->DrawNow();

Note remmember to create Enums for them in the .hrh file of ur application. Then handle those enums in the HandleCommandL() function of ur view class.

Two possibilities spring to mind:
1) dirty hack:
RESOURCE CBA r_popuplist_A_B
{
buttons =
{
CBA_BUTTON {
id = EAknSoftkeySelect;
txt = "Option A";
},
CBA_BUTTON {
id = EAknSoftkeyBack;
txt = "Option B"; }
};
}
yuk! (but works!)
or
2)
Derive from CAknPopupList and override the ProcessCommandL to handle your own commands. I'll elaborate...
Create new class
class CMyPopupList : public CAknPopupList
...
in the definition
void CMyPopupList::ConstructL(CEikListBox* aListBox, TInt aCbaResource, AknPopupLayouts::TAknPopupLayouts aType)
{
CAknPopupList::ConstructL(aListBox, aCbaResource, aType);
}
void CMyPopupList::ProcessCommandL(TInt aCommandId)
{
AttemptExitL(aCommandId==EPopupListOptionA ? ETrue : EFalse);
}
The constructL makes sure the base class is constructed correctly and the ProcessCommandL handles whatever commandIds you would like.
Hope that helps

PS Did you know that there is an R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_SELECT_BACK. I noticed from your previous post that you had R_SOFTKEYS_SELECT_BACK
