Please that QMainWindow has predefined Symbian CBA and you do not have to define them again!

How do I define/re-define CBA?

luca

Ok, I probably found the problem.

Creating a new mobile project with Qt Creator I get this main:
@
#include "mainwindow.h"

#include <QtGui/QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

MainWindow mainWindow;
mainWindow.setOrientation(MainWindow::ScreenOrientationAuto);
mainWindow.showExpanded();

return app.exec();

}
@
and showExpanded() is defined as follow:
@
void MainWindow::showExpanded()
{
#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
showFullScreen();
#elif defined(Q_WS_MAEMO_5) || defined(Q_WS_MAEMO_6)
showMaximized();
#else
show();
#endif
}
@
so compiling for Symbian show the application with showFullScreen() .
Showing fullscreen application hide the "exit" button.

Can you confirm me this?

Hi Luca,

Please stick to the example that I have provided in my previous post and modify your main method. After that modify MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) as per my advice and build your application. The Options menu will be visible!

I have tested the example using Qt Creator and the new Qt SDK. It is working on simulator and Nokia E7. I have also tested in using Carbide.C++ and S60v5 simulator the example was working using them too.

Best regards,
Leon

Ok thanks for your help Leon.
As I can see in your main.cpp you show your MainWindow with:
@
mainWindow.showMaximized();
@

and not:

@
mainWindow.showFullScreen();
@

That's why I didn't see the button.

Thanks again.

Yes, this is an important precondition. I have "added a section about it at our wiki article ":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_Add_Options_Menu_in_Symbian_Application#9d86ec4f7dcd920f518cfc5532601cfb

So the issue is solved :)

Cheers,

Hi, I'm here again...
Can you see the menu in Qt-Simulator?
I can't.
I see "options" (in the left) and "exit" (in the right). If I press "options" it doesn't show menu while if I press "exit" the application exits.

Hi, i have the same problem.... I add menu as it in the example and nothing occurs when i press "Options" button. How it could be solved?

Thanks,
Lana

Hi Luca, Lana,

I have tested Qt Simulator a minute ago and I had the same problem. According to a "thread at Forum Nokia":http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?223306-moved-Why-i-see-my-menu-at-Qt-simulator-control this is the way the simulator works currently. :(

I have never been fan of simulators and this is another proof that is better to work with real device.

Best regards,
Leon

Hi Leon,

Thanks much, i have already spent a lot of time to try finding the reason of such menu behaviour.

Sincerely,
Lana
