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

[Tomasz Baniak]

Hi Alessandro
Proposed solution is not the case. I want this app to work exactly how it
works now.
So i am happy to have a menu under the softkey that will pop up when
clicked.
I just want it (popup, NOT softkey) to hide it programatically without
having to delete it.

Scenario:
1) User opens app -> app with SK is opened
2) User clicks SK -> menu pops up
3) While menu is visible 'something' happens so i would like my app to
close/hide preciously shown menu
