HOW TO ADD NEW SOFTKEYS

[sanee]

Hi,
I want to add 2 new buttons "System" and "tracking" to menubar.

I have the following code

RESOURCE CBA r_ctrm_symbapp_softkeys_system_tracking
{
buttons =
{
CBA_BUTTON { id=ECtrm_SymbAppCmdSystem; txt = "System"; },
CBA_BUTTON { id=ECtrm_SymbAppCmdTracking; txt = "Tracking"; }
};
}



RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
menubar = r_menubar;
cba = R_CTRM_SYMBAPP_SOFTKEYS_SYSTEM_TRACKING;
}


to .hrh file
---------------
num TTRM_SymbIds
{
-----------------
ECtrm_SymbAppCmdSystem,
ECtrm_SymbAppCmdTracking,
----------------
};
But I am getting errors.

* RCOMP failed - deleting output files

Change the line to lowercase. As shown below:

RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
menubar = r_menubar;
cba = r_ctrm_symbapp_softkeys_system_tracking;
}
...

sorry,
that does not work
it compiles fine
but crashes on execution.

Well actually it means Kiran's suggestion has worked indeed(it compiles)

Crashes on execution should have some other reason. You can find more regarding crash using http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ded_panic_code

I can not enable
just in time debugging in emulator
Tools -> Preferences menu, and finally make sure the "Extended panic code file" option is checked on the C++ Debug tab

I go to tools menu
under that a list appears.

clicking on any item gives me error

"can not start ecmt manager".

Regards!

"can not start ecmt manager".

Check this: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=96937

You are getting USER 23. Check for SDK help about this panic.

Also check these articles: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ulltext=Search

I updated the path in
C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\tools\ecmt\config
now, the panic code is shown.
panic code is- user::23.

Now I will search for panic code.


By the way I had read about this topic "creating new softkeys"
somewhere. How to search for that?? in forum nokia.

now reading ur below mentioned link.
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ulltext=Search
Think that is useful...
let me check out.

[sanee]

I followed the link
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...n_button_group

and made modification to the code.

Still.. I get panic user 23

MODIFIED CODE
---------------
.rss file
-----------
RESOURCE CBA r_hello_bye
{

buttons ={

CBA_BUTTON {id = EHello;txt = "hello";},
CBA_BUTTON {id = EBye;txt = "Bye"; }
};
}

RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
menubar = r_menubar;
cba =R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_EXIT;
}

APPui.cpp file
----------------
#include<eikbtgpc.h>

void CTRM_SymbAppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)
{
switch (aCommand)
{
-------------------------
-------------------------
case EGpsMap:
{

CEikButtonGroupContainer* cba = CEikButtonGroupContainer::Current();
if(cba)
{
cba->SetCommandSetL(R_HELLO_BYE);
cba->DrawNow();
}


iAppView->GetGpsInfoL();
}
break;

----------------------------
----------------------------

}}

in mmp file
-------------
eikcoctl.lib avkon.lib
now what to do.......

Yes, generally you do not have to wait a day before checking the answers.

sorry for that,
but today is a holiday for me.
I just came in to office to do some work.
I reached a n hour/2 earlier (approx).

[sanee]

It worked.
I dont know why it was not working earlier

I guess the error in the previous try to change CBA was because it was defined above

RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
menubar = r_menubar;
cba =R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_EXIT;
}

Still now if I define my code above RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO, it gives some panic
it works if the code is defined below.

This is just my guess.

This data may be helpfull to someone else

Regards to all!

Sorry, I have not reflected to your very first post in this thread. So the first 3 resources for a Symbian GUI applications are fixed:
- RSS_SIGNATURE
- TBUF
- EIK_APP_INFO
Most .rss files do not even give a name to these resources (ok, the TBUF is usually named as r_something_document_name), because they are used by the OS. And the OS has no idea about your .rsg file, it simply identifies these default mandatory resources by their order in the file.
