error creating graphic context: error C2065:'SystemGc' : undeclared identifier

[ThreeSixFiveOh]

My line of code:

CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();


Error:

error C2065: 'SystemGc' : undeclared identifier

what header file/ library am i missing??

Thanks

If you are inside CCoeControl class methods, like Draw() you can use CCoeControl's SystemGc() method. Otherwise please use iCoeEnv->SystemGc().

Thanks..

I was trying to do it within my View's (CAknView) ConstructL method.

Anyway, I'm now trying to place a background image in my Container (CCoeControl).

When my program runs the 2nd line of code the program crashes.

_LIT(KF2FMbmFileName2, "\\system\\apps\\F2F\\F2F.mbm");
iBackgroundImage = NBitmapMethods::CreateBitmapL(KF2FMbmFileName2, EMbmF2fBackground);

I've already included the namespace file bitmapmethods.h and bitmapmethods.cpp.

The mbm and mbg files are created. This is from my mbg file
enum TMbmF2f
{
EMbmF2fBackground,
EMbmF2fCheck_yes,
EMbmF2fCheck_yes_mask,
EMbmF2fCheck_no,
EMbmF2fCheck_no_mask
};

I don't know why even the 2nd line of code can fail. Any ideas Denever?

I decided to try it displaying the background image using the View(CAknView) again instead of the Container.

I now have this in the ConstructL() method of the View

void CF2FMainView::ConstructL()
{
BaseConstructL( R_F2F_MAIN_VIEW );

_LIT(KF2FMbmFileName, "\\system\\apps\\F2F\\F2F.mbm");
iBackgroundImage = NBitmapMethods::CreateBitmapL(KF2FMbmFileName,EMbmF2fBackground);
//CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();
CWindowGc& gc = iCoeEnv->SystemGc();
gc.BitBlt(Rect().iTl,iBackgroundImage);

But the compiler has a problem with Rect():
'Rect' : undeclared identifier

So i change it to this, since ClientRect() is from CAknView:
gc.BitBlt(ClientRect().iTl,iBackgroundImage);

It compiles fine, but when i run the application it crashes, telling me "System Error!!!"

pls help me denever!
