CSS classes

[gpasq]

Are the CSS classes implemented by a control documented anywhere? I've been muddling through the included css files, but that's tedious!

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean? Why would you read CSS files?

[gpasq]

How else, for example, do I determine that a BasicDialog has a .x-dlg-dlg-body that I can set for a theme?

[Animal]

Ah, you're wanting to write a theme? Big job. You'll have to just read the CSS files!

[Animal]

You know that you can examine what classes are applying to what easily by using Firebug don't you?

[gpasq]

Well.... REALLY what I want to do is just "untheme" BasicDialog. I have a special need wherein I have to have a typeahead-dropdown that implements specific functionality. I'm hoping to use BasicDialog as the drop down primarily because it already implements a number of things I'd otherwise need to implement. But the theming on it has to go; for example, I can't use the header.

I do want to keep some of it though... for example, I'd like to keep the resizer in the SE corner.

Yes, I do know I can use Firebug, but that's still reverse-engineering. I was hoping it was doc'd somewhere.

Thanks!

You could use a Layer to display your dropdown.

But why not use a ComboBox?

Or if you really need specific capabilities, a TriggerField.

With a Layer as the dropdown.

BasicDialog is overkill for what you want.

[gpasq]

Because I need to put a datagrid in the dropdown and implement multiple selections as the field's resulting value. Possible?

[Animal]

Very possible, see http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/examples/form/forum-search.html

[gpasq]

Perfect! Thanks!

There are examples of multi select Combos, and custom TriggerField classes in the forum.

When I was looking through the examples, it didn't dawn on me that the livesearch was similar to what I wanted. Didn't see the forest for the trees. Thanks for pointing it out.

Animal, I see that it is possible to put a template on the combo box, but is it possible to put a full-blown Ext grid? I'd like the functionality that Grid provides (resizable columns, etc.), but the template seems to be row oriented and not dataset oriented.

[Animal]

No, the ComboBox uses a View which just displays fields from a Store of Records according to an HTML template. You woudn't get Grid features.

I think the best thing would be to subclass TriggerField, and study how ComboBox works.

On trigger, show the Layer.

The Layer and its Grid, ColumnModel, Store etc should only be created once.
