Description
On QWERTY keypad devices, there is no user-selectable numeric input mode available. The numeric input mode input is used only in the numeric editors in these devices and it is not possible to set the default mode to numeric if the editor also allows text input.
How to reproduce
Resource for EDWIN control:
RESOURCE DIALOG r_text_number_query
{
flags = EGeneralQueryFlags;
buttons = R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OK_CANCEL;
items =
{
DLG_LINE
{
type = EAknCtQuery;
id = EGeneralQuery;
control = AVKON_DATA_QUERY
{
layout = EDataLayout;
control = EDWIN
{
width = 128;
lines = 1;
flags = EEikEdwinOnlyASCIIChars ;
default_input_mode = EAknEditorNumericInputMode;
default_case = EAknEditorTextCase;
allowed_case_modes = EAknEditorAllCaseModes;
numeric_keymap = EAknEditorStandardNumberModeKeymap;
allowed_input_modes = EAknEditorAllInputModes;
special_character_table = R_AVKON_SPECIAL_CHARACTER_TABLE_DIALOG;
};
};
}
};
}
The code snippet to display the query dialog using the above resource:
void ShowQueryDialogL()
{
TBuf<128> buffer;
CAknTextQueryDialog* Dialog =
CAknTextQueryDialog::NewL(buffer);
Dialog->PrepareLC(R_TEXT_NUMBER_QUERY);
Dialog->SetPromptL(_L("Enter Text"));
TInt ret = Dialog->RunLD();
if(ret !=KErrNone)
{
CEikonEnv::Static()->InfoWinL(_L("Entered Text: "),buffer);
}
}
The above code snippet displays a query dialog with numeric input mode in all S60 3rd Edition devices except for QWERTY keypad devices, such as the Nokia E61 and Nokia E71.
