I created button CEikTextButton but it is not displayed

[sirmic]

I created button CEikTextButton but it is not displayed.What is wrong?
Here is my code:

void CMikhail2AppView::ConstructL( const TRect& aRect )
{
...
 TResourceReader reader1;
 iCoeEnv->CreateResourceReaderLC(reader1,ZQ_BUTTON);
 button = new (ELeave) CEikTextButton();
 button->ConstructFromResourceL(reader1);
 CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); 
 button->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
 button->SetObserver(this);
 button->MakeVisible(ETrue);
 button->SetFocus(ETrue);
...
}
void CMikhail2AppView::Draw( const TRect& /*aRect*/) const
{
 _LIT(buttonText,"Click My Button");
 button->SetTextL(buttonText,CEikTextButton::EFirst);
 button->SetPosition(TPoint(50,50));
 button->SetSize(TSize(100,30));
 button->SetParent(button->Parent());
 button->DrawNow();
}

You should rather try the 'traditional', compound control approach: provide a CountComponentControls and ComponentControl method, and return your button (which would be better called iButton).

Yes, please do as wizard_hu_ suggested. It should be something like this.

TInt CMikhail2AppView::CountComponentControls() const
{
	return 1; // Amount of Components
}

CCoeControl* CMikhail2AppView::ComponentControl(TInt aIndex) const
{
	switch (aIndex)
	{
		case 0:
			return button;
		default:
			return NULL;
	}
}

Another way is to add the individual components to the container components control array as the CCoeControl implements the ComponentControl() and CountComponentControl() methods past 9.0 releases.

And not to forget to have the window owning compound control if your application does not have any window owning control.

Normally the view class contains the container class object which is a window owner control.The container contains the other compound controls which share the "Window" owned by the container.
