Creating stylus pop-up menu

Construct the menu using the method CAknStylusPopUpMenu::NewL()in the class .

Note: The last parameter in the constructor is a pointer to the preview pop-up from which the stylus pop-up menu is launched. If you are not constructing a pop-up menu for a preview pop-up, set the parameter as NULL.

To construct the menu from a resource, use the method CAknStylusPopUpMenu::ConstructFromResourceL().

The following example illustrates a stylus pop-up menu opened in the location (not a preview pop-up) where the user taps with the stylus as well as the resource that defines the menu items:

Note: The menu is constructed only once: when HandlePointerEventL runs for the first time. Later the already constructed menu is shown again.

The following code snippets explain how to create and display Stylus pop-up menu:

Creating directly:

// member variable point to the stylus Popup menu
CAknStylusPopUpMenu * iPopupMenu ;
_LIT(KItem1, "Item 1");
_LIT(KItem2, "Item 2");
_LIT(KItem3, "Item 3");
_LIT(KItem4, "Item 4");
enum StylusPopupMenuCommand
	{
	StylusMenuCommand1 = 0 ,
	StylusMenuCommand2,
	StylusMenuCommand3,
	StylusMenuCommand4
	};
// create object , “this” is a object implement the interface 
// MEikMenuObserver
iPopupMenu = CAknStylusPopUpMenu::NewL( this , TPoint( 0 , 0 ) );
// add menu item
iPopupMenu->AddMenuItemL( KItem1 , StylusMenuCommand1 );
iPopupMenu->AddMenuItemL( KItem2 , StylusMenuCommand2 );
iPopupMenu->AddMenuItemL( KItem3 , StylusMenuCommand3 );
iPopupMenu->AddMenuItemL( KItem4 , StylusMenuCommand4 );

Creating through resource file:

RESOURCE STYLUS_POPUP_MENU r_stylus_popup_menu
	{
		items =
		{
			STYLUS_POPUP_MENU_ITEM
				{
					txt = "Menu Item 1";
					command = EStylusPopupCommand1;				},
			STYLUS_POPUP_MENU_ITEM
				{
					txt = "Menu Item 2";
					command = EStylusPopupCommand2;				},
			STYLUS_POPUP_MENU_ITEM
				{
					txt = "Menu Item 3";
					command = EStylusPopupCommand3;
				}
		};
	}
// create object
iPopupMenu = CAknStylusPopUpMenu::NewL( this , TPoint( 0 , 0 ) );
{
	TResourceReader reader;
	iCoeEnv->CreateResourceReaderLC( 
                       reader , 
                       R_STYLUS_POPUP_MENU );
	iPopupMenu->ConstructFromResourceL( reader );
		// destroy reader
	CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
}
