[FIXED][2.2.1/3.0rc2] Ext.form.Checkbox - initValue

[harley.333]

Is there a reason the initValue method of the Ext.form.Checkbox class is set to Ext.emptyFn? Doing this means that initValue no longer resets the "dirty flag" on checkboxes.

To Reproduce:
1. Make a checkbox.
2. isDirty() returns false
3. check the checkbox
4. isDirty() returns true
5. call checkbox.initValue()
6. isDirty() still returns true

I'm using the following work-around:

Ext.override(Ext.form.Checkbox, {
initValue: function() {
this.originalValue = this.checked;
}
});

Not sure what the reasoning was, but that's not a new change - been that way since at least 1.1.1.

Maybe somebody else will chime in with the thought behind it.

checkbox.initValue has been emptyFn since Ext 1.0, but setting the originalValue in initValue was introduced in Ext 2.2 and checkbox.initValue wasn't correct for this.

IMHO the override should be:

Ext.override(Ext.form.Checkbox, {
initValue: function() {
this.originalValue = this.getValue();
}
});

Hi. It appears, that version 3.0 rc2 still has the problem. Does the lack of fix mean that such behavior is special ? Or can I apply fix myself ?

Such fix is essential for me because it is necessary to restore initial check box state after reset in my situation.

Thank you!
