CEikEdwin Problem

[binubabykurian]

hi,
I am working with UIQ 2.1. When i used a CEIkEdwin object for creating textbox, i can't type anything. I am afraid, key press is not being received. But when i used the same code for series 60 it worked. I am wondering why is it so?
regards,

I never had any problems with using CEikEdwin with UIQ.

Where exactly do you use them? In a Dialog or in a View?

this is the code i used in my ConstructL()

editor=new(ELeave) CEikEdwin();
CleanupStack::PushL(editor);
editor->ConstructL(0,20,0,20);
editor->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
editor->SetObserver(this);
editor->SetExtent(TPoint(0,0),TSize(180,18));
editor->SetFocus(ETrue,EDrawNow);
CleanupStack::Pop();//editor
Can anyone tell what else do i need to implement to type in my text box.

hi binu baby kurian

You've probabliy forgotten to implement the ComponentControl()- and CountComponentControls()-methods as should always be done using a compound control? And do not forget to handle focus if you have more than just one control...

afterwards, you can use
editor->GetText(aBuffer);
to read text from the textfield

Hi
This is the whole code for my View Class

#include "Simple.h"

CSimpleAppView::CSimpleAppView()
{
iLabel = new (ELeave) CEikLabel;
iText1 = new (ELeave) CEikEdwin;
}

CSimpleAppView* CSimpleAppView::NewL(const TRect& aRect)
{
CSimpleAppView* self = new(ELeave) CSimpleAppView();
CleanupStack::PushL(self);
self->ConstructL(aRect);
CleanupStack::Pop();
return self;
}


CSimpleAppView::~CSimpleAppView()
{
delete iLabel;
delete editor;
}

void CSimpleAppView::ConstructL(const TRect& aRect)
{
CreateWindowL();

iLabel->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
iLabel->SetTextL(_L("Enter Password"));
iLabel->SetExtent(TPoint(10,85),iLabel->MinimumSize());

editor=new(ELeave) CEikEdwin();
CleanupStack::PushL(editor);
editor->ConstructL(0,20,0,20);
editor->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
editor->SetObserver(this);
editor->SetExtent(TPoint(0,0),TSize(180,18));
editor->SetFocus(ETrue,EDrawNow);
CleanupStack::Pop();//editor

SetRect(aRect);
ActivateL();
}

TInt CSimpleAppView::CountComponentControls() const
{
return 2; // return nbr of controls inside this container
}


CCoeControl* CSimpleAppView::ComponentControl(TInt aIndex) const
{
switch ( aIndex )
{
case 0:
return iLabel;
case 1:
return editor;
default:
return NULL;
}
}
// Drawing the view -
//
void CSimpleAppView:raw(const TRect& /*aRect*/) const
{
// Window graphics context
CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();

// Start with a clear screen
gc.Clear();

}

TKeyResponse CSimpleAppView::OfferKeyEventL(const TKeyEvent& aKeyEvent,TEventCode aType)
{
iEikonEnv->InfoMsg(_L("hello"));
if(editor)
{
return editor->OfferKeyEventL(aKeyEvent, aType);
}
return EKeyWasNotConsumed;
}


TKeyResponse CSimpleAppView::HandleKeyEventL(
const TKeyEvent& aKeyEvent,TEventCode aType)
{

return EKeyWasNotConsumed;
}


void CSimpleAppView::HandleControlEventL(
CCoeControl* aControl,TCoeEvent aEventType)
{
return EKeyWasConsumed;
// TODO: Add your control event handler code here
}



Do i need to implement anything more. If there is anything more to be implemented pls post the code for that

First of all: Never use standard-constructor for creating new controls! Do it in the second-phase constructor

//----------------------------------------------------
// Constructor for the view.
//----------------------------------------------------
//
CSimpleAppView::CSimpleAppView()
{
iLabel = NULL;
iText1 = NULL;
}


//----------------------------------------------------
// Second-phase Constructor
//----------------------------------------------------
//
void CSimpleAppView::ConstructL(const TRect& aRect)
{
// Control is a window owning control
CreateWindowL();

iText1 = new (ELeave) CEikEdwin;

iLabel = new (ELeave) CEikLabel;
iLabel->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
iLabel->SetTextL(_L("Enter Password"));
iLabel->SetExtent(TPoint(10,85),iLabel->MinimumSize());

editor = new(ELeave) CEikEdwin();
CleanupStack::PushL(editor);
editor->ConstructL(0,20,0,20);
editor->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
editor->SetObserver(this);
editor->SetExtent(TPoint(0,0),TSize(180,18));
editor->SetFocus(ETrue,EDrawNow);
CleanupStack::Pop();//editor

SetRect(aRect);
// At this stage, the control is ready to draw so
// we tell the UI framework by activating it.
ActivateL();
}
