Simulate user input

void CMyAppView::SignalImageStored()
{
       TKeyEvent aKeyEvent;
       TEventCode aType;
       aKeyEvent.iCode = EKeyMenu;
       aKeyEvent.iScanCode = EStdKeyMenu;
       aType = EEventKey;
       iCoeEnv->SimulateKeyEventL(aKeyEvent, aType);
}

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.
