difference

[mohaskuar]

what is the differnce b/n these two when used on controllers

var searchGridWin= this.getUserSearchGridView();
this.searchGridWin = Ext.widget('searchGrid'); the first retuns a function and the later returns an object....i want to use the first way to do something like

searchGridWin.show(); rather this.searchGridWin.show()//when using the second method;

[tvanzoelen]

The first returns the class if it was registered in the views section of the controller. then that function is available.

Ext.widget will allways return an instance of the specific class, if it is loaded within the scripts.

So with the first you must first create an instance with it.

try



var searchGridWin= new this.getUserSearchGridView()
searchGridWin.show();

controller
Ext.define('AM.controller.Users', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views:[
'user.List','user.Edit','user.West','user.Tabview','user.ReportTree','user.SearchGrid',
],
stores:[
'Users','Policies','SearchGrids',
],................. the view is registered. but the problem is when i tried to make the view show up


var searchGridWin= new this.getUserSearchGridView() searchGridWin.show();is not working ....on firebug searchGridWin is an empty function

I think it reurns the class.

then it should be this.



var searchGridWin= this.getUserSearchGridView()
new searchGridWin({}).show();

Ext.define('AM.controller.Users', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views:[
'user.List','user.Edit','user.West','user.Tabview','user.ReportTree','user.SearchGrid',
],
stores:[
'Users','Policies','SearchGrids',
],................. the view is registered. but the problem is when i tried to make the view show up


var searchGridWin= new this.getUserSearchGridView() ;is not working ....on firebug searchGridWin is an empty function

No, See my other post. I think its a class.


var searchGridWin= this.getUserSearchGridView()
new searchGridWin({}).show();

And see this part http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.app.Controller method getView

In that case, below should also work.



var searchGridWin= this.getUserSearchGridView().create();
searchGridWin().show();


Its strange because for stores it seems an innstance is returned.

[mohaskuar]

this works



var searchGridWin= this.getUserSearchGridView();

new searchGridWin({}).show();
i have checked out that for the store indeed it returns an instance,10ks.tranzoelen
