Appendix B: Publishing images
User defined transparent images are supported with user-provided icons
and masks as any S60 icon defined in the S60 SDK. There are the following
three ways you can publish your image to your widget:
- Publish an image as a file path. The image can be in any of the Symbian
supported file format.
Example:
KWidgetIMG = "c:\\data\\Installs\\ContactImage\\TGadget.jpg";
- Publish image as a handle. Example:
_LIT(KImageKey, "image1");
_LIT(KImageMaskKey, "image1_mask");
CFbsBitmap* bitmap = new ( ELeave ) CFbsBitmap();
bitmap->Load( KImageMBM, EMbmImage );
TInt handle = bitmap->Handle();
CFbsBitmap* mask= new ( ELeave ) CFbsBitmap();
mask->Load( KImageMBM, EMbmImageMask );
TInt maskHandle = mask->Handle();
HsWidget& widget = iHsWidgetPublisher->getHsWidget( "onerow", "[Ex] HS Widget", "0xA0007E04" );
widget.setItem( KImageKey, handle );
widget.setItem( KImageMaskKey, maskHandle );
- Publish an image from a skin or a mif file.
A publisher can publish
scalable icons in the form of skin ids and mif ids.
Syntax
:
[skin(<majorId> <minorId>)]:[mif(<MifFileName.mif> <bitmapId> <maskId>)]
Example:
KNature_IMG = "SKIN(270501603 8586)"); // only Skin Id
KGadget2_IMG = "mif(c:\\data\\Installs\\TemplateData\\templateIcons.mif 16384 16385"); // only Mif id
// with fall back support
// means if the given skin id is invalid then it will use the Mif ids to get the image
KWeather_IMG = "SKIN(000000000 0000):mif(c:\\data\\Installs\\TemplateData\\templateIcons.mif 16386 16387");
Tags (e.g. SKIN and mif) are not
case sensitive.
