Wait +note

Wait notes contain a wait graphic of indefinite duration. They are used +during operations that take a long time when it is not possible to estimate +the duration of the operation. Whenever possible, the user should be able +to stop the operation. For this, a softkey labeled for example,Cancel is +provided.

+ Using wait notes in C++ applications

You can create +either a basic wait 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).

Wait notes are +predefined notes that cannot be used just by instantiating a simple note class. +These notes' lifetime is based on a background process, and client code has +to provide an interface to retrieve this information. For implementation information, +see Creating a wait note.

To create a global wait 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.
