Lock orientation change in N97

[darshan.gandhi]

Hi,
i am making an application on N97.
I want the application to work in portrait mode always,even iif the user opens keyboard or rotates the device.
I have read many posts and used many suggestions like

SetOrientationL( CAknAppUi::EAppUiOrientationPortrait) ;

but none of this works.
Is there some roubust method for that??

that has worked for me, I usually call it in a ConstructL function of the Appui Class. Anyway, wiki also suggest alternative: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...UI_application

Hi, yucca ..
thanx for your reply..

I tried the other way

BaseConstructL(CAknAppUi::EAknEnableSkin | CAknAppUi::EAppUiOrientationPortrait);

but then i donot get my toolbar in appview

iAknToolbar = iAppUi->CurrentPopupToolbar();

here my toolbar is null. and so i get KERNEXEC 3 if i perform any operation on iAknToolbar .
if i remove base constructl then there is no problem with toolbar. :(

I never used the toolbar, actually have old applciations that needs to also support older devices, so often building with 3rd ed MR and not using any APIs that come with newer platforms. Anyway, you are propably missing some flag there, you could try for exmaple adding: EAknTouchCompatible there as well.

Tried the EAknTouchCompatible flag..
but didnt get any success..

Hi,

how about this?

CAknToolbar* toolbar = iAppUi->CurrentFixedToolbar();
