Overview

In this code snippet a standard border is drawn around a CEikEdwin. The same technique applies to all controls inherited from CEikBorderedControl.

MMP file

The following libraries are required:

LIBRARY egul.lib
LIBRARY eikcoctl.lib

Header file

CEikEdwin* iEditor;

Source file

void CAppView::ConstructL(const TRect& aRect)
    {
    // ...
 
    // Set border type
    iEditor->SetBorder(TGulBorder::ESingleDotted);
 
    // ...
    }

void CAppView::Draw(const TRect& aRect) const
    {
    // Get the standard graphics context
    CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();
 
    // Clear the screen
    gc.Clear(aRect);
 
    // Get the border
    TGulBorder border = iEditor->Border();
 
    // Draw the border so that it surrounds iEditor
    TRect editorRect = iEditor->Rect();
    border.Draw(gc, border.OuterRect(editorRect));
    }
