Doing a gradient fill

[nkn_aikon]

In Nokia 9210 applications there is a title bar with gradient fill. Is there a tool for doing gradient fill or do I have to implement it by myself?

You can fill a rectangle by using gradient brush pattern. The pattern can be created as described below.

CFbsBitmap* brush=new(ELeave)CFbsBitmap;
TInt startColor=KRgbBlue; // This is an application-specific constant
TInt endColor=KRgbWhite; // This is an application-specific constant
TInt brushWidth=10; // This is an application-specific constant
ColorUtils::TBitmapOrientation brushOrientation=ColorUtils::EBitmapOrientationVertical;
ColorUtils::CreateGradientBitmapL(*brush, brushWidth, iEikonEnv->WsSession(), brushOrientation, startColor, endColor);
