Closing app from menu task + dialog

[tektronic]

Hi,

When I run my app, if I press blue (menu) button, select the app then pres C (clear) the application gets exited if I confirm Yes.
However if in my app I am showing a dialog then I try again to close the app from the task menu via menu/blue button as above the application doesnt get closed anymore.
It seems the dialog denies this for some reasons. The dialog is based on CAknDialog and works well. Should I do anything special to solve this ? Can you help ?
I currently need to be able the application to get exited when the dialog is shown and the user tries to exit the app from the menu task.

Thanks
tek

Have you tried over-loading ProcessCommandL() in your dialog and seeing if you get a command ID through when closing using this mechanism (EEikCmdExit or something similar)?

Hi,

Yes, I have tried this. PrecessCommandL doesnt receive any command if I am doing this.
I am a bit blocked on this since it must be a solution somehow.
Thanks.

Over-ride:
TKeyResponse OfferKeyEventL(const TKeyEvent& aKeyEvent,TEventCode aType);

You'll find this gets called with aKeyEvent.iCode==EKeyEscape and aType == EEventKey when the app is exited by the task list and the dialog is shown.

Hi Kevin,

Yes, that was the solution.
I had in OfferKeyEventL:
{
if(iListBox) return iListBox->OfferKeyEventL(..);
return CAknDialog::OfferKeyEventL(..);
}

it seems my control iListBox were eating any key anyway, including the Escape key.
This code was out of my suspections it could be the cause.

Thank you very much for your help.
