is it possible to show icons for cascade menu items in the form.

[rajani_sp1]

Hi,
I have to show icons for some of the menu in the cascade menu items in the form. I have seen in this forum some people talking about icons for menu items. I am confused whether it is possible or not. If i use in the resource EEikMenuItemSymbolOn flag,how can i set the svg icon for the menu. Please let me know.


Thanks in advance.

CAknForm::DynInitMenuPaneL(aResourceId,aMenuPane);

// Add the menu from the resource defined in the .rss file

Shilpa, Thanks for your reply.
I have already seen all the threads related to this topic. But my requirement isthat i need to display an icon for a cascade menu item.Is this possible? This is similar to the native contacts appliacation where in if you select Add details menu, cascacaded menu with some menu with icons shown. Eg for a menu "Telephone(Home)", i need to display a phone icon on the left of the menu text. Can you tell me how can i do this..

Thanks

The thing which u r talking about "Add details" of native contacts app.. its popup list..CAknPopupList its a different control.

Search in sdk for more details..

Hi shilpa,

Thanks , I used now popuplist.

I have another problem with adding control to the form.
I am using this function.

void CContactDetailsForm::AddItemL()
{
// _LIT( caption, "New Control" );
TBuf<50> caption ;
TInt pageId = ActivePageId();
TInt id = ++iTotalControls;
TInt type = EEikCtEdwin;
TAny* unused=0;
CTextListBoxModel* model = list->Model();
TInt index = list->CurrentItemIndex();
caption.Copy(model->ItemText(index));
caption.TrimAll();
SetEditableL(ETrue ) ;
CEikEdwin* edwin = (CEikEdwin*)CreateLineByTypeL( caption, pageId, id, type, unused );
edwin->ConstructL
( EEikEdwinResizable, 10, 100, 1 );
UpdatePageL( ETrue );
(Line(id))->ActivateL();
SetEditableL( IsEditable() ) ;
DrawNow();
}

The added control appears with the caption in the edit mode. But
not taking the keyboad input and nor able to scroll after adding the new control with the above function. Can anybody tell me why is this so.

Regards
Rajani
