Call CAknViewAppUi from CCoeControl

[shizzl]

Hi,

i have a button (mybutton_1) derived from CCoeControl which captures pointer events.
Now i try to call HideMe() from CMyAppUi class to hide the button (mybutton_1->MakeVisible(EFalse) on a pointer event on mybutton_1.

Maybe its too late, but i just dont get it?
How can i call HideMe() from CCoeControl? or can i hide the button directly in CCoeControl?

class CMyButton: public CCoeControl 
	{
public:
 	void HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent &aEvent);


class CMyAppUi: public CAknViewAppUi
        {
public: 
 	void HideMe();
        CMyButton* mybutton_1;

void CMyAppUi::ConstructL()
        {
	mybutton_1=CMyButton::NewL(wg);
	mybutton_1->MakeVisible(ETrue);


void CMyAppUi::HideMe()
       {
       mybutton_1->MakeVisible(EFalse);


void CMyButton::HandlePointerEventL(const TPointerEvent &aEvent)
     {	
     if(aEvent...

You could get pointer to your AppUI class with CCoeEnv::Static()->AppUI() then you would just need to cast it to your own type. Anyway, not certain whether it makes sense to hide it from AppUI class, then again, its your design, so you know better how it should be designed.

Since you are using CAknViewAppUi class, you can also directly use macro iAvkonViewAppUi (Defined in AknViewAppUi.h) to access pointer to base AppUi class. Then just cast it to your own type.
