Softkey menus not displaying natively?

See this post on Stack Overflow as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4...ying-correctly .



I create and show a QWebView with soft key options at the bottom. When I click "Options", a menu shows up, but it's tiny, black, and in the upper left hand corner (it should look like the standard blue soft keys and be directly above them). I followed this example: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...Qt_for_Symbian

//create webview
webView = new QWebView;
webView->setUrl(QString(":html/internal.html"));

//create menu
QAction *option1 = new QAction(tr("Back"), webView);
option1->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::PositiveSoftKey);
    connect(option1, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(deleteView()));

//create right softkey action to launch the "options" menu
QAction *option2 = new QAction(tr("Options"), webView);
option2->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);
    connect(option2, SIGNAL(triggered(), this, SLOT(showMenu()));

QMenu *menuOptions = new QMenu(webView);
menuOptions->addAction(tr("Sub Menu 1"), this, SLOT(aboutView()));
menuOptions->addAction(tr("Sub Menu 2"), this, SLOT(aboutView()));
option2->setMenu(menuOptions);

//add softkey menus
QList < QAction* > softKeys;
softKeys.append(option1);
softKeys.append(option2);

webView->addActions(softKeys);
webView->show();

If you're running this in Simulator, I'd suggest to give it a spin in a real hardware. Simulator might have some issues showing Symbian native components, such as Options menu.

Hey,

The soft key menu do not pop up properly on the simulator. Its strange behavior, so give it try on real device.
