Rendering an ext checkbox into an itemTpl?

Is there a way to render a checkbox into an itemTpl? In ST2.1.0, there's no event that fires after the list data is rendered, so I can't post-process with renderTo. I think there has to be a way to render to some fake element and grab the HTML, but I can't figure out anything that works.


I need something like this:


{xtype:'list', itemTpl:'{[renderCheckbox()]}}


Has anyone done anything like this before?

Adding Widget to a DataView is a pain in the ass.
The API looks awfull (dataMap really ?? ). Hopefully the ST team will fix this in the future.

I used to just use renderTo in the initialize event of the list, but that broken in ST2.1.0.

This bug here was closed without resolution, so I don't know what to do.

Using components in dataview (or now list) isn't hard at all but the DOM can bloat up. If you don't want to use components then just have a <div> and style it as a checkbox.

The list is pretty small, so it seems to be okay. Do you have example of using components in a list/dataview? That's *exactly* what I'm trying to do, and it would be way cleaner if I didn't have to post-process with renderTo.

The Kiva example uses components in dataview. The same thing can happen with the list except you use ListItem instead of DataItem.
