Softkeys can be changed dynamically in the following way:

Define a new CBA resource (or resources) in the .rss file:

RESOURCE CBA r_custom_cba1
 
      {   
 
      buttons =
 
          {
 
          CBA_BUTTON { id = ECba1Button1; txt = "Button1"; },
 
          CBA_BUTTON { id = ECba1Button2; txt = "Button2"; }
 
          };
 
      }

Add definitions for new command IDs to the .hrh file:

   enum TMyMenuCmdIDs
       {       
       ECba1Button1,
       ECba1Button2
       };

And call SetCommandSetL() from the code:

#include <eikbtgpc.h> 
 
    CEikButtonGroupContainer* cba = CEikButtonGroupContainer::Current();
 
    cba->SetCommandSetL(R_CUSTOM_CBA1);
 
    cba->DrawNow();

See also predefined resources in avkon.rsg. For example, to change CBA buttons to Options/Cancel:

   cba->SetCommandSetL(R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_CANCEL);

To disable softkeys, use the predefined resource R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_EMPTY.
