Using +information notes in C++ applications

You can create either a basic +information note that is displayed only when your application is in the foreground +or a global note that stays displayed even if the application launching the +note is not in the foreground. The related APIs are the Notes +API (for basic notes) and the Notifiers +API (for global notes).

To use an information note with the default +icon, text, sound, and duration, create an instance of the note class CAknInformationNote. + For implementation infomation, see Creating +a non-waiting information (basic) note.

To create a global information +note, use the class CAknGlobalNote in +the Notifiers +API. For implementation information, see Using +global notes and Using +global notes with user interaction.

For basic notes, you can +change the icon or text displayed in the note, use a different kind of sound, +or change the note duration using the setter methods in the class CAknNoteDialog: SetIconL, SetTextL, SetTone, and SetTimeout.

For information on customizing +global notes, see Enhancing +global notes. You can change the graphic, animation, tone, and softkeys +using the methods in the class CAknGlobalNote: SetGraphic, SetAnimation, SetTone, and SetSoftkeys.
