Idle screen status pane

[Bogdanovich_Ilya]

Hi everybody,

My question is about idle screen status pane on pre-3rd edition FP2 devices. In my application I want to display status pane from idle screen (with clock, operator name and data). Does anybody know, if there is some standard way to display it in my application?
I've tried CEikStatusPane::SwitchLayoutL(R_AVKON_STATUS_PANE_IDLE), but it displays application name in the title pane.
CEikStatusPane::SwitchLayoutL(R_AVKON_STATUS_PANE_EMPTY) works on 3rd FP2 onwards, but has some ugly drawing bugs on my N95. Using CEikStatusPane::MakeVisible(EFalse) also didn't succeed. I'm out of ideas. Can anybody help me?

AFAIK, there is no any standard way to do it.

Welcome to the Forum Nokia Developer Discussion boards.

You can constuct your own status pane layout. See StatusPane API: Status pane API (and also Creating your own status pane resources)
Some additional useful links:
- Status panes
- Navigation Pane API: Using Navigation Pane API

This code works correctly for me:

// MyAppUi.cpp
/////////////

// Gets a pointer to the status pane 
CEikStatusPane* sp = StatusPane();

// Changing status pane visibility to invisible
sp->MakeVisible( EFalse );

Also check this article in Wiki: How to make a full-screen application using Symbian C++.

For getting current date and time you can simply use:

TTime now;
now.HomeTime();    // get current date and time

for getting current profile name you can use Profiles Engine API (also see Retrieving profile information on S60 3rd Edition)
