[Symbian] show device's menu within a fullscreen application

[curreli]

Hello,

I found no information about this in the documentation.

My question is: is it possible to display the phone's menu bar on a full screen QMainWindow?

In other words, is there a way to mimic the action of the "Options" nokia button.

Thanks!

Check out the softkeys example in \NokiaQtSDK\Examples\4.6\widgets\softkeys. It has exactly what you're looking for in this code:

flags |= Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint;
flags &= ~Qt::WindowSoftkeysRespondHint;
setWindowFlags(flags); // Hides visible window
showFullScreen();
modeLabel->setText(tr("Fullscreen with softkeys"));

flags |= Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint;
flags &= ~Qt::WindowSoftkeysRespondHint;
setWindowFlags(flags); // Hides visible window
showFullScreen();
modeLabel->setText(tr("Fullscreen with softkeys"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

when i run the example, i got some errors ? my qt version is 4.6.2

/Qt/qtcreator-2.0.1/softkey/mainwindow.cpp:124: error: `WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint' is not a member of `Qt'

/Qt/qtcreator-2.0.1/softkey/mainwindow.cpp:125: error: `WindowSoftkeysRespondHint' is not a member of `Qt'

Did you include the right header file?

#include <Qt>

#include <Qt>

And are you linking against the Qt version for Symbian?
