Dialog Menu in 7650 - please advice!

[eracer]

I did need to do it, this what I found.

Derive a MyDialog from class CAknDialog
Call ConstructL( menueresourceId) for instance in MyDialog::PostLayoutDynInitL().
In MyDialog::OkToExitL() you call DisplayMenuL() for your EAknSoftkeyOptions command.
You can do whatever you want in MyDialog::DynInitMenuPaneL() to dynamically hide lines depending on what happened in the dialog.

Hi,

I still need help with this matter - I'm sure it's trivial for a person who has done this previously. I'd really appreciate helping me out because this thing functions currently as a barrier for my work.

I've tried all kinds of this in DynInitMenuPaneL and also to operate on iMenuBar member variable without result. I am using CAknDialog and would like to know what is the normal way to define a menu for a dialog in Avkon and how to catch the messages. Attached find my previous message.

Please help.

Sincerely,
Janne

What is the easiest (normal) way to get a popout menu for a dialog in 7650?
For example, if I had defined buttons R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_BACK for a
dialog, how do I attach menu/menu functionality when the "Options" button is
pressed.

Thank you for your help in advance!

If you have defined buttons R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_BACK for a dialog, you can add/remove options menu items in DynItitMenuPaneL function of your dialog class.

To attach a menu to your dialog use ConstructL parameter, like:

CMyDialog::ConstructL()
{
CAknDialog::ConstructL( R_MY_OPTIONS_MENU );
}

where R_MY_OPTIONS_MENU is defined in your resource file as

RESOURCE MENU_BAR r_my_options_menu
{
titles=
{
MENU_TITLE
{
menu_pane=r_my_menupane;
txt="";
}
};
}

RESOURCE MENU_PANE r_my_menupane
{
items=
{
MENU_ITEM {command=EMyCommand; txt="My Command"; }
};
}
