[Qt-interest] How to hide softkey menu on Symbian?

[Tomasz Baniak]

Hi!

I would like to hide a softkey menu (NOT a softkey, but a menu that is
possibly shown) on Symbian (to avoid bug
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-14589).

I did not succeed to do it in my app. I checked it on simple app with left
softkey menu constructed as this:

> QMenu* m_menu;

 ...

> m_menu = new QMenu(this);
> m_menu->addAction("Option 1", this, SLOT(menuItemTriggered()));
> m_menu->addAction("Option 2", this, SLOT(menuItemTriggered()));
> m_menu->addAction("Option 3", this, SLOT(menuItemTriggered()));
> QAction *myMenuKey = new QAction("MyMenu", this);
> myMenuKey->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::PositiveSoftKey);
> myMenuKey->setMenu(m_menu);
> menuBar()->addAction(myMenuKey);

and could not hide it in any way.

I have tried:

> m_menu->close();

m_menu->hide();

m_menu->setVisible(false);

without any success

It seems that Symbian uses it's native menu and it has not much to do with
QMenu i used in a code above as it is possible to open MyMenu by clicking
action key and display it and in the same moment display second
'instance'(?!) of the same menu by calling *popup() *(2 menus with the same
options visible).
On Windows the above situation works as expected (only 1 menu visible at
time).
Also calling (on Windows) hide/close does the trick to actually hide it.

I will fill the bug later for 'double menu issue' later. But back to my
question:
*How could i hide this left softkey menu on Symbian?*
