popup

According to BadaDev, Samsung Apps is not accepting applications which uses MessageBox, for three reasons:

1. Message box closes when user touchs out side it.
2. The button’s captions are in device’s language and not in the application’s language.
3. The Home hard button does not works while the MessageBox has focus.

All three issues relatives to MessageBox itself, but Samsung App Review Team does not care about it.

So, let's see how to work with Popup!

The Popup is an implementation of Window. It can have controls such as Buttons, Labels, and so on. However, the Popup cannot attach some controls such as Frames, MessageBoxes, Forms and another instance of a Popup.

The Popup is displayed in the center of top screen. The Show() method is responsible for displaying the popup and its children.

Example :



Now, lets see how to create a Popup:
Insert a Resource

Select Popup resolution

Create your popup... (UI - controls)

Now, you must create a Popup .cpp and .h file, to get Popup reference, as shown below:

Note that this popup example has two buttons and one label, as presented in .cpp and .h code.


To see your popup... you must create an instance and call setshowstate and show functions, as shown below:

YourClass.cpp

result r = E_SUCCESS;
__pPopup = new Popup();
  if(!__pPopup->Initialize()){
     r = E_FAILURE;
  }

r = __pPopup->SetShowState(true);
TryCatch(r == E_SUCCESS, , GetErrorMessage(r));
r = __pPopup->Show();
TryCatch(r == E_SUCCESS, , GetErrorMessage(r));

Thanks for your visit! :)
