How to Add Hide buttion on RSK?

[ash_21]

Hi friends,
I want to add Hide button in my application at Right Softkey.

RESOURCE CBA r_hide
{
buttons =
    {
    CBA_BUTTON 
        {
        id = EAknSoftkeyOptions; 
        txt = "Option";
        },
    CBA_BUTTON 
        {
        id = EMyCmdHide; 
        txt = "Hide";
        }
    };
}

This code I have written in .rss file & in HandleCommandL function I have defined the code for Hide button but still its not showing me Hide button on my screen. It's showing me Options & Exit Softkeys only....
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance..

Try changing following stuff in your application rss file:

RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
...
cba=r_hide;
...
}

if i am not wrong you have not changed your RESOURCE AVKON_VIEW to point to your r_hide CBA

How should I change that?

[skumar_rao]

I do something like this.

RESOURCE AVKON_VIEW r_my_main_view
{
cba = r_hide;
}

[ash_21]

I do something like this.

RESOURCE AVKON_VIEW r_my_main_view
{
cba = r_hide;
}

RESOURCE AVKON_VIEW r_view2
	{
	
	menubar = r_menubar_view2;  
	cba	 = r_hide; 
	
	}

This I did already.... But still its not showing....

Also Did you change the BaseConstructL() to BaseConstructL(R_VIEW2) in View::ConstructL().

Yes I have defined that too also in constructL function.....

Ok, firstly are you using Views or just containers ?

If you are using views, is your Appui class derived from CAknViewAppUi ?
And nif you are using containers, is your Appui derived from CAknAppUi ?

Hi Ash_21,
RESOURCE CBA r_hide
{
buttons =
{
CBA_BUTTON
{
id = EAknSoftkeyOptions;
txt = "Option";
},
CBA_BUTTON
{
id = EMyCmdHide;
txt = "Hide";
}
};
}
After that call this when ever you want, may be in ui/view.
Cba()->SetCommandSetL(aCBAButtonID);aCBAButtonID =r_hide
Cba()->DrawDeferred();

maximum it will work.

Thanks Partha.... Please tell me where should I put the following code....

Cba()->SetCommandSetL(aCBAButtonID);aCBAButtonID =r_hide
Cba()->DrawDeferred();

I have defined the Resource as r_hide in my rss file but I didn't defined the quoted code in my application. In which function should I paste it?
waiting for your reply...

[parthasaradhi6]

when ever you should dispaly these options that time call those lines

[ash_21]

when ever you should dispaly these options that time call those lines

Partha I mean to say that whether should I defined it in ConstructL function or some where else in view class file?
