Label in form

[nicobarten]

Hi all,

I have a form with a fieldset. In this fieldset, normal textfields appear, but when a user logged in has not certain rights, there must be labels instead of textfields.

So i have this code:



// ... some code
layout: 'form',
defaultType: 'textfield',
border: false,
bodyStyle: 'padding: 10px 0px 0px 0px; background-color:#DFE8F6;',
width: 280, // 250 // 290
items: [
{
xtype: 'fieldset',
collapsible: false,
title: 'Persoonlijke gegevens',
autoHeight: true,
defaultType: 'textfield',
items: [
function()
{
var myTest = null;
myTest = new Ext.form.Label(
{
fieldLabel: 'Aanhef',
name: 'aanhef',
width: 128,
text: 'Dhr'
});
return myTest;
} (),
function()
{
var bla = null;
bla = new Ext.form.Label(
{
fieldLabel: 'Voorletters',
name: 'voorletters',
width: 128,
text: 'N.B.'
});
return bla;
} (),
// ... more code


So, in the function for each item, i can decide which will be shown (textfield or label) and then make the current component, and return it. With a textfield or combobox this works good, but the label's value is below the label's fieldlabel, as seen in the picture below:

So what am i doing wrong? (:|

Use a DisplayField or a TextField depending.

[Animal]

That would be just



items: [{
xtype: canWrite ? 'textfield' : 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Aanhef',
name: 'aanhef',
width: 128,
text: 'Dhr'
}

And what if the original was a combobox instead of a textfield? (So combo or displayfield)

Because the combo has other attributes like store, etc.

[Animal]

use xtype: 'combo'! 8-|

[nicobarten]

err... i'm not that stupid :D

What i meant was, that a combobox uses all kind of other attributes, like store, valueField, displayField, etc. The textfield or displayField doesn't have these attributes, so i wonder how i should change the displayField to a combo with also having to add those new attributes.

[Animal]

You have to configure a combo with everything it needs.

[nicobarten]

ok, an example. Lets say i have the combobox as original:



items: [{
xtype: canWrite ? 'combo' : 'displayfield',
fieldLabel: 'Aanhef',
hiddenName: 'aanhef',
width: 128,
store: someStore,
valueField: 'id',
displayField: 'name'
}


If canwrite becomes false, the xtype will become displayfield. However, displayfield doesn't use
a store, valueField and displayField.

:-?

[Animal]

No. It doesn't.
:-?

So, if the original is the combobox with attributes like store, displayField, valueField, etc, what will happen then when the xtype changes to displayfield? The displayfield would have invalid attributes attached to it.

did you try it?
