This article is about creating a custom button control with a picture and a label. It has a basic functionality of clicking. When the focus is on button control and OK is clicked, this control notifies to its observer about click event.

This is mainly for those who migrated from UIQ to S60 and missing native button control.

Hearders Required:

#include <gulicon.h> //CGulIcon
#include <fbs.h>  //CFbsBitmap
#include <COECNTRL.H> //CCoeControl
#include <coecobs.h>  //MCoeControlObserver

Library required:

LIBRARY   egul.lib //CGulIcon
LIBRARY   fbscli.lib //CFbsBitmap
