Overview

This code snippet shows how to create a global confirmation query CAknGlobalConfirmationQuery. A global confirmation query is constructed by calling the NewL() method and is executed using the ShowConfirmationQueryL() method. An active object has to be constructed to handle the dismissal of the dialog. This example uses the generic class CGlobalQueryHandlerAO that is also used with other global query code snippets. The class CGlobalQueryContainer is used to launch the query and it is also the observer that implements the interface MGlobalQueryObserver.

This snippet can be self-signed.

Postconditions

The example code shows how to create a global confirmation query, handle its dismissal, and how the active object handler informs an observer class that the dialog has been closed.
