Description: Items can be added to the menu dynamically, without making any changes to the resource file. Solution: First, use an ’empty’ menu definition in the application resource file: #include <eikon.rh> #include <avkon.rh> #include <avkon.rsg> #include "MyApp.hrh" RESOURCE RSS_SIGNATURE { } RESOURCE TBUF r_default_document_name { buf=""; } RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO { menubar = r_myapp_menubar; cba = R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_EXIT; } RESOURCE MENU_BAR r_myapp_menubar { titles = { MENU_TITLE { menu_pane = r_myapp_menu; } }; } RESOURCE MENU_PANE r_myapp_menu { items = { // Empty implementation of menu }; } Then, override MEikMenuObserver::DynInitMenuPaneL() in the application UI class: void CMyAppUi::DynInitMenuPaneL( TInt aResourceId, CEikMenuPane* aMenuPane ) { if( aResourceId == R_MYAPP_MENU ) { CEikMenuPaneItem::SData itemData; itemData.iText = _L("New menu item"); // Label text for the menu item itemData.iCommandId = ECmdYourMenu; // Command ID for the menu item itemData.iFlags = 0; itemData.iCascadeId = 0; aMenuPane->AddMenuItemL( itemData ); } } Note that there is no need to call DynInitMenuPaneL() directly as it will be called by the framework once the menu softkey is pressed. | ||
