Setting the tab title for a pre-existing Component instance

[morsen]

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone could point out what's wrong with this code. I have an existing Ext.Component instance that I want to add to a TabPanel, and I don't know how to set the title on it.

I have seen a lot of conflicting information both on these forums and on the Internet in general. I am using the most recent downloadable version of Sencha Touch.

Here is the code. It currently shows the new tab, but with a blank title. If I use either of the setText() calls, or try to call setTitle() in some way that I've seen on some other threads, the script halts execution.

newPage is a Ext.Component instance (in fact, for this particular test, it's another TabPanel instance):

var tab = tabPanel.add( newPage );
            //tab.setText( title );
            //newPage.setText( title );
            if ( show ) {
                tabPanel.setActiveItem( newPageIdx );
            }
            tabPanel.doLayout();

Does anyone know how I can successfully set and show the title?


Thanks!
