title:'Reporting',
height:300,
anchor:'100%',
bodyStyle:'padding:5px;',
defaultType:'textfield',

items:[{
xtype:'combo',
name:'site',
fieldLabel:'Site',
store: store,
displayField:'site',
mode:'local',
width:94

},
{
xtype:'datefield',
fieldLabel:'Start Date',
name:'sdate'
},{
xtype:'datefield',
fieldLabel:'End Date',
name:'edate'
},{
xtype:'combo',
name:'show_violations',
mode:'local',
store:new Ext.data.SimpleStore({
fields:['violations'],
data:[['Completed'],['In Progress'],['All']]
}),
displayField:'violations',
width:94,
fieldLabel:'Violations'

},
{
xtype:'button',
text:'Submit',
handlers:function(){
// want to submit my form from here
// how do i access this form
}
}]

you can use itemId, look at the API for Ext.Container

[adibhagra]

i tried this , here 'myForm' is my itemId , but i get the error on firebug saying that Ext.getComponent is not a function. i tried even Ext.FormPanel.getComponent('myForm') but even then its the same response. can you please mention how to use getCompoent.

{
xtype:'button',
text:'Submit',
handler:function(){
console.info('hi');
Ext.getComponent('myForm').submit({
success:function(f,a){
Ext.Msg.alert('Thanks','Finally');
}
})
}

thanks and regards,

That's impossible. Are you using Ext 1.x?

[adibhagra]

yeah, thanks .

Well, you're posting in a version 3.0 forum!

That said, xtypes are not supported in 1.x
