CAknToolbar in Belle

[singh.parminder02]

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to set text "Sign In" to a button in toolbar but the text doesn't show up. Instead, "..." is drawn. Here is my AVKON_TOOLBAR resource. Kindly suggest what should i do. I don't want to reduce the number of characters in the text. Thank you.


RESOURCE AVKON_TOOLBAR r_rediff_login_view_toolbar
{
flags = KAknToolbarFixed;
items =
{
TBAR_CTRL
{
type = EAknCtButton;
id = ECommand1; // In this example, we are using same set of commands as of used in AppUi:HandleCommandL
control = AVKON_BUTTON
{
flags = KAknButtonSizeFitText;
states =
{
AVKON_BUTTON_STATE
{
txt = "SignIn";
helptxt = "Sign In";
}
};
};
}
};
}

Generally you get the dots when your text is truncated, thus you should use shorter text in that place.

Hi,
As the text is larger in size than the button width,so the text is truncated and is visible as "..."
So u can try adding image instead of text in button or use EAknCtToolbarExtension to create an extension toolbar button and then u can see your text in button.

@debjit.roy: Thanks for the suggestions. Following are the results

1. The Toolbar.zip example works well on 5th Editions but displays "..." on belle
2. Regarding adding image, I'm considering it as a last resort. Want to try more on making enough space available to fit in the text.

@symbianyucca: Very true, but I've seen some apps from Microsoft that do display larger words in the toolbar (on belle) and not a single character gets truncated. Maybe I've to construct the toolbar with some correct flags. I've tried quite a bit of combination of relevant flags but still unsuccessful. Any more suggestions ?
