Custom FEP breaks Web application on S60 device

[stephenwheelan]

Hi Guys

I have noticed that in my custom FEP that if I start up the "Web" app on my S60 device - it appears to crash and return to the selection menu again.

Upon reading all the articles related to FEPs on this forum I believe that this is caused by my FEP not implementing MAknEditingStateIndicator.

I have obtained this file from this forum - but I am unclear how to use it.

When reading the Nitin Mittal PDF about FEPs it says that I need to implement the class and that I need to call CAknEnv::SwapEditingStateIndicator().

However I have some questions about this:

1) Do I implement MAknEditingStateIndicator in my CCoeControl derived class or my CCoeFep derived class?

2) When implementing SetState() and IndicatorContainer() - do these have to implement anything or can they be empty?

3) When I call CAknEnv::SwapEditingStateIndicator() do I call this from my constructor and destructor in my CCoeControl or CCoeFep derived classes?

4) When calling CAknEnv::SwapEditingStateIndicator() what do I pass into the function when I am in my constructor and what do I pass in when I am in my destructor? The function returns a MAknEditingStateIndicator * - is this a pointer to the previous Editing State Indicator?

Any help on this would be great.

1. I used to implement it in CCoeFep derived class.

2. i had the set state empty, and returned fully constructed object in IndicatorContainer. Basically this object is just constructed so this function wouldn't return NULL, didn't use it anywhere else.

3/4. you could swap with this pointer in constructor and then swap giving NULL in your destructor.

Thanks for the help yucca - that has fixed my problem.
