Documentation

Hi,

I was going through the API documentation and I noticed a few things - some you may want to fix, and others you may not.

Under Class Ext.Window

- You don't mention "frame" at all. There is a config option called frame that is a boolean - defaults to true. Allows the frame of the windows to be completely hidden if false.

- You have references to a config option "floating", but you don't have an entry for it. For example, the config option of shadow references floating=true

I am continuing to learn and go through the documentation....let me know if you wish me to post more of these...otherwise I won't bother.

Windows are framed and floating as true by default and the options aren't really meant to be modified, which is why they aren't documented.

Thanks for your reply. I do understand that they are both true by default.

However, there are times when a developer may want to enclose a item inside a window but not have the frame visible.

Anyway....you guys are awesome! Do what you think is best.

It's explicitly hidden because it's expected that a Window is framed by a nice border.

It's actually probably a good idea to unhide it because in Ext 3, to get a floating, resizable BoxComponent, you must create a Window tweaked to not look like a window:

new Ext.Window({
    border: false,       // Override Window's default
    frame: false,        // Override Window's default
    draggable: false,    // Override Window's default
    closable: false,     // Override Window's default
    elements: 'body',   // Override Window's default
    baseCls: 'x-panel',  // Override Window's default
    floating: {shadow: false},  // Override Window's default
    resizeHandles: 'se,sw',
    height: 200,
    width: 200,
    x: 100,
    y: 100,
    bodyStyle: 'background-color:red' // just so you can see it.
}).show()

So that you get



In Ext 4, floatability, resizability etc are where they should be in the hierarchy: At the Component level so everything gets that ability.
