[moved] work with UI designs

[dilipsinh]

Hello friends,


-> I have made one GUI application as
:- "New Project -> GUI Application with UI Designer -> ....... -> S60 UI Design Selection -> Setting Item List"

-> Then add another UI design from Project Explorer,
:- "application.uidesign -> UI Design (tab) -> Add new UI Design -> Form"


Que :- Is it possible to call 2nd UI Design from 1st one? (e.g., from "Setting Item List" to "Form" ____by the option selection event )

or

I just have to work with only one UI Design by changing its container contents?



Pls Help.......

Your "UI Designs" translate into C++ classes which can be manipulated as you wish. Of course you can navigate from one view to another (if you are using CAknView derived classes) or you can instantiate/delete, show/hide any container classes.

The SDK and Forum Nokia are full of Symbian C++ examples, have a look at them, see how they work.

Btw, why not give Qt/Qt Quick a chance? Should be easier for you to learn ...

when i implement the following code : -

" AppUi()->ActivateLocalViewL( TUid::Uid( ECellGuard_FinalGUIFormViewId ) ); "

I can navigate to my other UI design "Form".

But by pressing default "Back" button, my application got exit Instead of going back to previous UI design. So is there only one way to navigate between diffferent UI designs - by using the above function ?

Views are not stacked, switching back to the previous view is also done via invoking ActivateLocalViewL. The UI designer generates a simple exit command for the form, that is the immediate reason for exiting. Try searching for form view back site:nokia.com with Google, and you will find a couple threads, perhaps with some solutions too.

Hello Everybody,

As suggested by "wizard_hu", I searched in google and forum but i didn't get the solution to switch the view from "form to listview". Infect, i found that there are problems with the "form-UIdesign" automatically created by the framework ( Error : CONE 44 ).

We cannot change the defualt name like "Back" button, we cannot modify auto generated code part. And in form, we cannot navigate to any other view.
And i am also having a problem with the menubar : "I have added two options through framework but it is not shown on form while running emulator as shown in listview.
So it is better to create form by coding and not by the framework.

From my point of view, UI design of "Form" and its auto generated coding part should need improvement for easyness.
