Simple constructor depending only on a single resource Id. Editor resource is given via the link in the setting page resource.

Constructor that allows separate setting page and editor resources

This constructor allows the use of setting page using only the editor resource. Other combinations are also possible

In all cases the number (if supplied i.e. <> 0 ) is used.

Editor Resource Setting Page Resource present present Both are used (but text & number overridden) = 0 present Editor resource is used via SP resource (Effectively like the other constructor) present = 0 Default Avkon SP resource if used + this editor resource = 0 = 0 uses default resource for both SP and editor. This is OK if: i) control type is present, ii) a default resource exists ( OK for text, integer, date, time, duration )

Note: The first argument is a TDesC* (rather than TDesC&) because the other constructor cannot initialize such a member without allocation or having an internal dummy buffer. Note that this buffer must be owned by the client until ExecuteLD has been called.

Rules for text and numbers: The rules are the same for both: (non-zero length) text or number other than EAknSettingPageNoOrdinalDisplayed if given in this constructor will not override resource (unless that is zero length or EAknSettingPageNoOrdinalDisplayed). Note, however, that text or number given via the specific API for setting them, WILL override resource. It is assumed that number from resource is very rare. Special text is somewhat more likely.

C++ destructor

Called when the user accepts the text and the setting page is about to be dismissed. The latest value of the text is written to the client's object

Reserved method from CAknEdwinSettingPage

Reserved methods for CAknSettingPage hierarchy

Framework method to set the validity of the data This is called when the data changes.

2nd stage construction for this specific type. Calls BaseConstructL in CAknSettingPage, where the object is constructed from resource.

After calling this method, the contained editor is fully constructed and has its text set, copied from the aText parameter of the constructor.

This constructor can be called prior to a call to ExecuteLD in order to ensure construction of the editor if API needs to be called on it prior to setting page launch. ExecuteLD will not attempt itself to do the construction a 2nd time.

Called immediately prior to activation of the dialog. Framework routine for derived classes.

From CAknControl

From MCoeControlObserver: Acts upon changes in the hosted control's state. If the EUpdateWhenChanged flag is set, this updates the setting text.

From CCoeControl. Handles pointer events

This routine routes the keys to the editor. However, if the menu is showing, then events are sent to the menu.

Framework method to determine if it is OK to exit the setting page. Derived classes may check for valid data before allowing the dismissal of the setting page.

add for CAknTextSettingPageExtension to access the api fo CAknTextSettingPage

Reserved method derived from CCoeControl

Called when the user rejects the setting. A backed up copy is used to restore the initial value

From CCoeControl This routine is called as part of the set-up of the control. It is the place to put the layout code.

Update the CBA. This should be called after a control state change in case there has been a change in data validity.

Called when something has changed and the client's object needs to have its text updated

This method copies out the text from the editor into the client's descriptor

Writes the internal state of the control and its components to aStream. Does nothing in release mode. Designed to be overidden and base called by subclasses.
