Gets the global expand state of softkey service window.

Since :
5.5
Parameters:
[in]softkeyThe tzsh_softkey_h object
[out]expandThe global expand state of the softkey service window
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
TZSH_ERROR_NONESuccessful
TZSH_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
TZSH_ERROR_NO_SERVICEService does not exist or softkey is NULL
TZSH_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDThe device cannot support this API
See also:
tzsh_create()

Sets the global expand state of a softkey service window.

This function lets the application controls the softkey service window's global expand status. If expand is set to TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_EXPAND_OFF, then the softkey service window does not show the expand button. When the expand state is changed to TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_EXPAND_ON, the softkey service window shows its expand button and can expand or minimize the softkey service window. This function affects all applications because it sets global expand state. The default expand state of the window is TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_EXPAND_ON.

Since :
5.5
Parameters:
[in]softkeyThe tzsh_softkey_h object
[in]expandThe global expand state of the softkey service window
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
TZSH_ERROR_NONESuccessful
TZSH_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
TZSH_ERROR_NO_SERVICEService does not exist or softkey is NULL
TZSH_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDThe device cannot support this API
See also:
tzsh_create()

tzsh_create()

Gets the global opacity state of a softkey service window.

Since :
5.5
Parameters:
[in]softkeyThe tzsh_softkey_h object
[out]opacityThe global opacity state of the softkey service window
Returns:

tzsh_create()

Sets the global opacity state of a softkey service window.

This function can control transparency of the softkey service window.

If opacity is set to TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_OPACITY_TRANSPARENT, the softkey service window becomes transparent like a 32-bit color window.

When the opacity state is changed to TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_OPACITY_OPAQUE, the softkey service window is shown as an opaque window.

This function affects all applications because it sets global opacity state.

The default opacity state of the window is TZSH_SOFTKEY_STATE_OPACITY_OPAQUE.

Since :
5.5
Parameters:
[in]softkeyThe tzsh_softkey_h object
[in]opacityThe global opacity state of the softkey service window
