camera key scancode

[Jeepy]

Hi,

someone can recall me what is the scancode of the camera key in S60 3rd AND 5th ? I can find it back and it doesn't seem to be the same in the two edition ...

Thanks,
Domi.

Hi,

yeps, I had checked this wiki but it's for 2nd & 3rd edition !, is this the same for the 5th ed ?

Try to use EKeyCamera (EKeyDevice7) for the 5th ed.

Humm .. are you sure ?

EKeyCamera is not defined in any include's and when using EKeyDevice7, my key is not captured in ::HandleKeyEventL although, in 3rd edition, EStdKeyApplication1A is processed correctly (that's mean that my code seems ok ....)

thanks,
Domi.

If you happen to have an actual device at hand, you could consider creating an application in 5-10 minutes for listing/logging codes you get in OfferKeyEventL.

you don't need to write another app, you just debug your app and make a breakpoint in you OfferKeyEvet() function and chech its param, then you will get the answer.

Unfortunately I don't have a device with 5th ed. So try to follow suggestions from previous posts.

yes, that's true, I have to catch the code from OfferKeyEventL but it seems that this code is not the same as received in HandleKeyEventL from an appli running in background ... but I'm maybe wrong !

kind regards,

Personally I use the following code for checking keycodes

void CCodeCheckView::Draw(const TRect& /*aRect*/) const
{
    CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();
    TRect drawRect = Rect();
    const CFont* fontUsed;

    gc.Clear();
    fontUsed = iEikonEnv->TitleFont();
    gc.UseFont(fontUsed);
    for(TInt i=0;i<EVENTS;i++)
    {
        _LIT(KFormat,"%5d %5d %x %d");
        TBuf<40> buf;
        buf.Format(KFormat,iEvents[i].iScanCode,iEvents[i].iCode,iEvents[i].iModifiers,iEvents[i].iRepeats);
        gc.DrawText(buf,TPoint(0,(i+1)*fontUsed->HeightInPixels()));
    }
    gc.DiscardFont();
}

TKeyResponse CCodeCheckView::OfferKeyEventL(const TKeyEvent &aKeyEvent, TEventCode aType)
{
    for(TInt i=0;i<EVENTS-1;i++)
        iEvents[i]=iEvents[i+1];
    iEvents[EVENTS-1]=aKeyEvent;
    DrawNow();
    return EKeyWasConsumed;
}

Where CCodeCheckView is a CCoeControl, and

#define EVENTS 8
TKeyEvent iEvents[EVENTS];

I have found the following scan code for the camera key :

3rd ed : 0xF882 (63618)
5th ed : 0xF880 (63616)

it's strange that there is a difference ...
