Try implementing this function in Your appui Class:

void CiMyClassAppUi::HandleResourceChangeL( TInt aType )
{
CAknAppUi::HandleResourceChangeL( aType );

if ( aType==KEikDynamicLayoutVariantSwitch )
{

iAppView->SetRect(ClientRect());
}
}

Thanks for ur reply.but what is meant by iAppview

[hassan.imtiaz]

OK in place of iAppview i placed my one view class object but it says setrect is not a member.

AFAIK E61 do not support switching the orientation, even if you want to switch it from code. I have no experience with E63, so check if this is the case for E63 also.

i have tried it on E71 and E72 also but issue is the same.i think All wide screen mobiles have default orientation landscape.??

[savaj]

Yes, they have default orientation as landscape (i.e. width of the page is greater than the height)

On E63 try with EAppUiOrientationLandscape and check if it gives you the desired result

Actually you may want try switching to landscape mode too. Landscape-portrait are likely interpreted as "rotated" and "natural" position of the keyboard.
So even if the display of those qwerty devices is wider than tall, the orientation (of the device?) might be considered to be "portrait".
And yes, some of those devices (like the E61) surely do not support changing the orientation. CWsScreenDevice can list you the available screen modes by the way.
