hiding the control pane to get full screen view

[raj8nokiaforum]

Hi,

I am following this link to hide the control pane to make a full screen app but the control pane is not getting hidden.

http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ymbian_C%2B%2B

Lines:

CEikButtonGroupContainer* cba = CEikButtonGroupContainer::Current();
    cba->MakeVisible( EFalse );

have not effect at all.

Alternatively if i try to use SetExtentToWholeScreen(), the emulator crashes everytime.

Is there something else i am missing to do here?

Thanks

Another alternate is to use CEikonEnv::Static()->EikAppUi()->ApplicationRect() instead of ClientRect() (when constructing the view in DoActivateL() method) to cover the whole view.

Yes this works. Is there something i can do for the whole application itself instead of doing this in all the views?

You always get the rectangle you ask for. There is no setting for returning ApplicationRect if you are asking for ClientRect.
