hello soontobeared

what do you exactly mean by enabling or disabling the right soft key??

Hi gaba,
In my application, clicking the right soft key('Exit') gives a popup menu which has a 'Hide' option.Clicking the 'Hide' hides my application and lets it run in the background. Initially i don't want to provide this hiding capability to the user and would like to make it available at a later point of time.

So I am thinking about locking the right soft key initially so that the user can't access the 'Hide' option and unlock it when I like to.

How can I achieve this?

Btw, by locking/disabling, I mean that nothing should happen on clicking the button(no event to be triggered).

Thanks&Regards.

Hi,

One way to do it is to detect when the right softkey is pressed and do nothing using the keycapture module. Then when you need the softkey again, just stop the capturer. See the keycapture section in the PyS60 Library Reference.

import keycapture
from key_codes import *


def cb_capture(key):
	if key == EKeyRightSoftkey:
		pass

capturer = keycapture.KeyCapturer(cb_capture)
capturer.keys = (EKeyRightSoftkey)
capturer.start()

[Anime]

import keycapture
from key_codes import *


def cb_capture(key):
	if key == EKeyRightSoftkey:
		pass

capturer = keycapture.KeyCapturer(cb_capture)
capturer.keys = (EKeyRightSoftkey)
capturer.start()

TypeError: iteration over non-sequence

[Anime]

import keycapture
from key_codes import *


def cb_capture(key):
	if key == EKeyRightSoftkey:
		pass

capturer = keycapture.KeyCapturer(cb_capture)
capturer.keys = (EKeyRightSoftkey,)
capturer.start()

Hi Anime and Bogdan,
THanks for the reply.

Please help me debug this code.

def __init__(self):
        capturer = keycapture.KeyCapturer(self.cb_capture)
        capturer.keys = (EKeyRightSoftkey,)
        capturer.start()

def cb_capture(self,key):
	if key == EKeyRightSoftkey:
		pass

The above code snippet doesn't work.Is my callback method defined the right way?
Btw, I am a python noob

Thanks&Regards

Hi,
I fixed it.

Thanks

capture.keys is a list.can read and write .
use capture.keys.append(EKeyRightSoft) instead capture.keys=(EKeyRightSoft)
