Detailed Description

Class for controlling the preview popup component.

Preview popup is a popup that can be used to show some extra information about e.g. a highlighted list item. It cannot get keyboard focus. Popup is shown after a default timeout of one second and hidden on key press or when it has been visible for ten seconds. These timeouts can be changed via this API.

Preview popup itself provides only timing services and an empty popup window whose frames and background are drawn with the current skin. It is client application's responsibility to provide the actual content. This can be any object derived from CCoeControl. When the popup is shown it asks content's size using CCoeControl::MinimumSize and sizes itself so that the whole content fits into the popup. Content can also be created asynchronously if it takes considerable amount of time.

IMPORT_C void CAknPreviewPopUpController::AddObserverL ( const MAknPreviewPopUpObserver &  aObserver  ) 
 

Adds the observer to the list of observers.

Observers in the list are notified of events in preview popup.

Parameters:
aObserver Observer.
IMPORT_C void CAknPreviewPopUpController::ContentReady (   ) 
 

If application wishes to build preview popup's content asynchronously the content class should be derived from MAknPreviewPopUpContentProvider in addition to CCoeControl.

This function must be called by the content object when it has finished its asynchronous building operation.

static IMPORT_C TAknPreviewPopUpContentSize CAknPreviewPopUpController::ContentSizeInLayout (   )  [static]
 

This static function can be used to query the logical size of the screen when drawing the content of the popup.

When ELarge is returned more detailed information (e.g. a picture) can be shown whereas ESmall suggests that the available screen area is more limited and simpler content should be used.

Returns:
Logical size of the screen.
void CAknPreviewPopUpController::DoCancel (   )  [protected]
 

From CTimer.

Cancels an outstanding asynchronous request.

IMPORT_C void CAknPreviewPopUpController::HidePopUp (   ) 
 

Hides the popup immediately.

static IMPORT_C CAknPreviewPopUpController* CAknPreviewPopUpController::NewL ( CCoeControl &  aContent,
const TInt  aStyle
)  [static]
 

Two-phased constructor.

This version should be used if the content is created synchronously i.e. it's ready when the popup is about to be shown. This is also the normal use case.

Parameters:
aContent Reference to the content of the preview popup.
aStyle Defines the used layout and behavior flags.
static IMPORT_C CAknPreviewPopUpController* CAknPreviewPopUpController::NewL ( CCoeControl &  aContent,
MAknPreviewPopUpContentProvider &  aContentProvider,
const TInt  aStyle
)  [static]
 

Two-phased constructor.

This version should be used if the content is created asynchronously.

Parameters:
aContent Reference to the content of the preview popup.
aContentProvider Reference to the content provider of the popup.
aStyle Defines the used layout and behavior flags.
static IMPORT_C CAknPreviewPopUpController* CAknPreviewPopUpController::NewL ( CCoeControl &  aContent  )  [static]
