Send Keystrokes to screen

[k9p4]

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Symbian. Trying to write some code to send keystrokes / key events to screen. Basically if the user presses 1 then 1 should be displayed on the screen, and so on.

My HandleKeyEvent is as follows:

TKeyResponse CMyPhoneAppAppUi::HandleKeyEventL(const TKeyEvent& aKeyEvent, TEventCode aType)
{
if(aType == EEventKey)
{
// if number key 1
if(aKeyEvent.iScanCode == EStdKeyNkp1)
{
RStringBuf t;
t.CopyLC( _L("1") );
//t.AppendFillL( 'a', 1 );
CAknInformationNote* infoNote;

infoNote = new ( ELeave ) CAknInformationNote;
infoNote->ExecuteLD(t);
CleanupPopAndDestroy( t );

}
// do nothing
}
return EKeyWasConsumed;
}

Could somebody help me with how to get it to display on the UI of my Application.

Thank u

just add the UI-Container into the Control stack inyour Appui-class, and then implement the OfferKeyevent function to catch the kays. You could then append the keys in a Buffer (that is member variable of your class) and draw it to the screen in Draw-function with the function provide by the Gc.
