Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (based on QWidget) is deprecated.

This code snippets shows how to hide Symbian status and control (CBA buttons) panes.

Control and status pane visible

Execute QMainWindow as show maximized mode, call QMainWindow::showMaximized()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showMaximized();
    return app.exec();
}

Hide control and status pane

No control or status pane visible.

Execute QMainWindow as fullscreen mode, call QMainWindow::showFullScreen()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showFullScreen();
    return app.exec();
}

Hide status pane

Only control pane is visible.

Execute QMainWindow as fullscreen mode, call QMainWindow::showFullScreen()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showFullScreen();
    return app.exec();
}

Define control pane as visible in fullscreen mode, set Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint window flag into QMainWindow

// Enable Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint flag in QMainWindow constructor
QWidget::setWindowFlags(windowFlags() | Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint);
