newbie, having problems with query dialog

[sbwoodside]

Hi, this is my first attempt to write a resource-based dialog. I'm trying to pop up a text query dialog. I have this code:

bool CSemacodeContainer::ShowQueryWithHeadingLineL()
{
  TBuf<1024> sometext;
  CAknTextQueryDialog* dlg = CAknTextQueryDialog::NewL(sometext, CAknQueryDialog::EConfirmationTone);
  TRAPD(err, bool result = dlg->ExecuteLD(R_SEMACODE_DATA_QUERY_WITH_HEADING));
  if (err != KErrNone)
  {
    User::Panic (_L("Helper"), 1);
  }  
  return result;
}

Here is my resource.rss file:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//  r_semacode_data_query_with_heading
//
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESOURCE DIALOG r_semacode_data_query_with_heading
{
  flags = EEikDialogFlagWait | EEikDialogFlagNoDrag | EEikDialogFlagNoTitleBar | EEikDialogFlagCbaButtons | EEikDialogFlagNoShadow;
  buttons = R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_DONE_CANCEL;
  items= {
    DLG_LINE {
      type = EAknCtPopupHeadingPane;
      id = EAknMessageQueryHeaderId;
      control = AVKON_HEADING {
        label = "Data entering:";
        bmpfile = AVKON_BMPFILE_NAME;
        bmpid = EMbmAvkonQgn_indi_checkbox_on;
        bmpmask = EMbmAvkonQgn_indi_checkbox_on_mask;
      };
    },
    DLG_LINE {
      type = EAknCtQuery;
      id = EGeneralQuery;
      control = AVKON_DATA_QUERY { 
        // Use this when you have a heading in data query
        layout = EStaticSizeDataLayout; 
        label = "Data query with heading looks nice!!!:";
        control = EDWIN {
          flags= EEikEdwinNoHorizScrolling | EEikEdwinResizable; 
          maxlength=80; 
          width=16; 
          lines=1; 
        };
      };
    }
  };
}

when I run it I get "System Error (-1)".

Hi

You don't need to use TRAP inside leaving function. The -1 error is generated by your panic line.

so remove the TRAP and you should then see the real error popping up.

You could also copy the resource definition from query example, use it as a base and make test if it works after each change, so then you could pinpoint when the problem start efecting your query.
