and when the focus from CEikEdwin control , the tabs appears again

I wouldnt really think that the tabs are edwin would be related in any ways what so ever,unless ofcourse you have made a logical error somewhere in your code, things to check would be where you are creating,showing,hiding the tabs, also the handlekeyevent function in the appui where generally the tab keys are handled and see if you can pick up something.

when edwin is focused, it is in edit mode, so the navigation pane shows current input method instead of tab group. it's normal.

i am not hiding the tabs in case of edwin is focused ,
its happening automatically when i am in edwin , i have seen applications where when u r entering text in edwin
tabs are visible , so can some one tell me how to make them visible , even when edwin is focused

thanks for reply

How do you instantiate your editor? Is it a standalon one? Part of a form? What editor flags do you supply to it?

i have seen applications where when u r entering text in edwin
tabs are visible

Could you name one? It would make simpler to imagine what you exactly mean.

I am using simpe CEikEdwin ,
what do u mean by stand alone ? ,
its not a full screen edwin , simple edwin for search in a view and other for sending chat msg ,


This is the way i am initializing the edwin , i am not passing any flags in one view in other edwin i am passing EAknEditorFlagNoT9 , to stop dictionary initially .

        CEikEdwin * iTextEdwin;
	iTextEdwin = new(ELeave) CEikEdwin();
	iTextEdwin->ConstructL(0, 80, 200, 1);
	iTextEdwin->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
	iTextEdwin->SetExtent(TPoint(10, 4), TSize(rect.Width()-40, iHeight-8));
	iTextEdwin->SetFocus(ETrue);

	CGlobalText* globalTextname=(CGlobalText*)iTextEdwin->Text();
	globalTextname->ApplyCharFormatL(charFormat, charFormatMask,0,iTextEdwin->Text()->DocumentLength());

in fring application i have seen that while entering text the tabs does not disappear .

thanks for reply

Hi,
In which application have soon seen the tabs when Edwin is focused.

[oracle3]

i m not sure it works

since i havn't met two or more controls focus meanwhile.

maybe u can override setFocus() to check if possible to active
to control at a time.

void CXXXX::SetFocus(TBool aFocus,TDrawNow aDrawNow)
{
//ur codes to setfocus Tab
...

// the code to active EdWin
CCoeControl::SetFocus(aFocus, aDrawNow);
}

Or there is a way, to write a Tab control implementation urself.
