Best approach to structuring an Ext.Panel

[whiplash]

Hi Guys,

I would just like to hear your views about the best approach to 'design' or 'structure' Ext.Panels.

Basically what I have is a js file containing various new Ext.Panels and an Ext.List.

To get the List and the first panel to render together I added them as items to the Panels items array. However, the examples I see on the internet for the 'onItemDisclosure' of the list and its back button ... they are just using 'card' layout, which means my approach will not work as I have multiple objects/items contained in the one Panel.


So, my question is this:

Should I have just one 'card' layout and design the layout of the content via HTML? Or Is there another approach to navigating back via the back button?


I can provide code samples if necessary

Thanks

Think about it... you tap on something and it goes forward in your app... you hit the back button and it goes back... what do you envision. I envision something like using card layout.

Not knowing what version of Sencha Touch you are referring to, I will just assume you mean ST1...


new Ext.Panel({
fullscreen : true,
layout : 'card',
cardSwitchAnimation : 'slide',
items : [
{
xtype : 'panel',
html : 'First Card
},
{
xtype : 'panel',
html : 'Second Card
}
]
});

Now you will only see one panel at a time within the panel that has layout: 'card'

Hi

thanks for the reply but I don't think you understood what I meant.

See I had an Ext.Panel with a title and count total and an Ext.List obviously for a list of objects ... and wanted the two rendered together ...

but the card layout can only render one object/item at a time.

It's grand now though as I have found an example that uses the viewport with a card layout, which then allows you to add a Panel and a List

thanks for the reply though

:)
