}

iCoeEnv is a member of CAknView class, this is useful to open menu automatically, maybe after a laps of time.

... and this cause only menu event, not the corresponding key be pressed when menu is visible, so setting a timer event that cause SignalImageStored be called (i.e. from a CActive derived class) could not cause select action. There can be some problem if the view is no more visible/activated ... (to be added a test on active state of this view.
