Fill form with JSON data

[prodigy7]

Hi there,

I've the following situation:

I've a form ... this form has 2 fields with the name 'forename' and 'surname'
I've JSON data which contains {"forename":"test1", "surname": "test2"}

How I can assign the content (JSON data) to the form after the form is created and drawn... somehow it can be done, loading json data and assign it - but how I can do that with an variable which contains already data?

Use the underlying BasicForm's 'getValues (http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-3.0.0/docs/?class=Ext.form.BasicForm&member=setValues)' method to do just that.
I.e. yourform.getForm().setValues({"forename": "test1",...});

Ah okay ... would mean, that I parse somehow the keys/values and set then the values.

If you have the raw string, use something along


var vals = Ext.decode(jsonstring);
yourform.getForm().setValues(vals);
