Click event handler problem

Hi!

I am considering if it's possible to call setActiveItem from button's click event handler. I'm using Sencha Architect, I've tried several methods, but without luck. I was trying to run the code:

Code:

---

onMenuitemClick: function(item, e, options) {
     
    //alert('Item clicked!'); //thats working
 
  Ext.getCmp('MyForm') ; //return undefined
        //Ext.getCmp('MyForm').getLayout().setActiveItem(1);
}

---

I would be very grateful for any help.

ok
Ext.getCmp(...) searches for a component with the matching config id.
Does your form have an id of "myForm".
I suspect not.

What is better practice is to set an itemId on your form and use the button "up" method to find the form.
See - http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/...tton-method-up

Now this is using a component query relative to the button looking up. See Ext.ComponentQuery in the API for details around query selectors (you could use Ext.ComponentQuery singleton to find the form as well).

http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...ComponentQuery

Assumming you give your form the itemid of "baseForm" your button query would look like.

button.up('#baseForm');

Good luck

Thanks! I added an ID for main panel and ended with something like

Code:

---

button.up('#baseForm').layout.setActiveItem(1);

---

in my button event handler. Now it works! :D
