multipage dialog navigation problem

[imzadi_il]

Hi everybody,
I want to add 2 setting pages to my S60 application. I tried to implement a simple multipage dialog with two pages but when I ran it, the first page was displayed but I couldn't move to the second page. Pressing the arrow keys did nothing.
I couldn't find working example and I searched the forums but all examples were of the rss file and not the code itself. I'm not sure how to solve this problem. does anyone have a solution? Should I override OfferKeyEventL and use CAknTabGroup?

Thanks

yes, you have to provide tab switching by your self via overriding that (not only) methods

[electrique]

if you are using msvc, try out that master:
right click on your project in solution explorer, then add -> add class -> new symbian os class -> s60 view + container

that will insert some cpp/h files in your project, whatever you need to correct them a bit too

Actually, I don't think you need to handle key presses by yourself if you use dialog or view architecture. I just tried the dialog out and mine works just fine without key capturing. I'd be interested how you'll get CAknTabGroup out of the dialog. I'm trying to dynamically create and delete tab pages in a dialog but haven't been able to do so yet.

Hi guys and thank for your answers,

electrique, can you please provide an example or list the other methods I need to override? I'll be glad to try it. BTW, I'm using carbide.c++ express (Still waiting to the pro version).
JammuK, I use the following code to load the navigation pane with my TAB_GROUP resource. Hope it helps.

void CMyMobileS60AppUi::LoadNavigationPane()
{
    TUid naviPaneUid;
    naviPaneUid.iUid = EEikStatusPaneUidNavi;
    CEikStatusPane* statusPane = StatusPane();
    
    CEikStatusPaneBase::TPaneCapabilities subPane = statusPane->PaneCapabilities(naviPaneUid);
    
    // if we can access the navigation pane
    if (subPane.IsPresent() && subPane.IsAppOwned())
    	{
    	CAknNavigationControlContainer* naviPane = (CAknNavigationControlContainer *) statusPane->ControlL(naviPaneUid);
    	// read the tab group resource
    	TResourceReader reader;
    	iCoeEnv->CreateResourceReaderLC(reader, R_MYMOBILES60_TABGROUP);
    	
    	if (iNaviDecorator)
             {
             delete iNaviDecorator;
             iNaviDecorator = NULL;
             }
		
		// set the navigation pane tab group, ownership is transferred to us here
       iNaviDecorator = naviPane->CreateTabGroupL(reader);
       CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // pushed by CreateResourceReaderLC
       naviPane->PushL(*iNaviDecorator); // draws the navigation pane
		    	
    	CAknTabGroup* tabGroup = (CAknTabGroup*) iNaviDecorator->DecoratedControl();
		if ( tabGroup )
		{
	    	     tabGroup->SetObserver(this);
		} 
    	}
}
