E65 redkey bug !!!

[rokroff]

hi all
i have Nokia E65 , my application need to handle redkey button and i use this code to handle :

if (aKeyEvent.iScanCode == EStdKeyNo) //Key code for red key.
   {
       //My handle here
   }

i test this code on Nokia N73 and works fine but not work on E65 !!!! wat's wrong ??
also i tried to print any code when any key pressed occur , on N73 redkey = 197 but on E65 does not print any code ....
can any one give me an example for handling redkey button on E65 ?
thanks in advance

How exactly are you capturing the key though?

You can try :-

//Capture the RED Key
TInt iHandlers = (CEikonEnv::Static()->RootWin().CaptureKey(EStdKeyNo, 0, 0));
TInt iUpAndDownHandlers = (iEikonEnv->RootWin().CaptureKeyUpAndDowns( EStdKeyNo, 0, 0 ));

And then in the HandleWsEventL of your appui, you should handle the action :-

CYourAppUi::HandleWsEventL (const TWsEvent &aEvent, CCoeControl *aDestination)
{
TInt key = aEvent.Key()->iScanCode;
if(EStdKeyNo == key && aEvent.Type() == EEventKeyDown)
      {
      //Handle the key here and return so that the FW doesnt get the key otherwise it would force your app to background/exit
      }

TInt iUpAndDownHandlers = (iEikonEnv->RootWin().CaptureKeyUpAndDowns( EStdKeyNo, 0, 0 ));

thanks mayankkedia , could you tell me where can i put those two line on my code ?

It would depend on your use case as to where and in what scenario you want to capture the red key, if you want to capture it always you can put it in the ConstructL of the AppUi, and if you want to disable red key capture you can use :-

iEikonEnv->RootWin().CancelCaptureKey(iHandlers);
iEikonEnv->RootWin().CancelCaptureKeyUpAndDowns(iUpAndDownHandlers);

Cheers,

P.S. I am assuming you have the SwEvent capability.
