[3.x] Ext.ux.PickerControl

[keypoint]

Here is a control similar to that used by Microsoft Dynamics to display various entities.
For now, what it does is it displays a string (eventually as a link), together with a left side icon.
Also, a trigger provides a hook allowing you to display an item picking dialog.
The control also has a hidden input attached, allowing you to set/retrieve its value.

Demo and src: http://www.keypoint.ro/ext

There are no docs for this extension yet.
The control extends Ext.form.TriggerField, adding the following properties and methods:

icon - icon URL to display on the left side
text - text to display
url - url to link text to
disableEllipsis - by default, if the control is smaller than the text, ellipsis are displayed. This disabled that behaviour.



setText(text, url) - change the displayed text


The registered name for this control is 'picker'.

very nice

Looks great. And misses in the basis set of extensions.
What's your license? Free to use? Even in commercial projects? BSD or GPL license?

Can you make a zip package of the source please? You can attach it to your post here and update it.

[keypoint]

It's BSD.
You may get the source files from our demo site (signature).
Licensing included in the control's js file and attached license.txt file.

Hope it helps,
I intend to update the control with few useful features, when I get the chance.

Hi,

I tested on IE6, there's a problem with trigger button.

great plugin =D>

Why would you do such a thing?? (test in IE6 :D )
As Microsoft decided not to support it anymore, so did I.
I will take a look some time to see if I can do anything about it but it will be difficult to test.

If anyone comes up with a solution, I'd be happy to integrate it. Probably just a CSS fix needed.

By the way: did you include the CSS file too?

your demo doesn't seem to work in IE7 either.

Ha,
You're right - might have broken something.
I'm checking it.

Update: works in IE8, doesn't work in IE8 compatibility mode (IE7 comparable, I assume)

[keypoint]

Functional in IE7 too (I hope IE 6 behaves the same)
See the demo site for updated source code.
Both js and css updated.

Thanks for fixing this.

A little tip: you can use IEtester : http://my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
for testing with different IE version from one application.
