Feature request: custom VTypes

[ssamayoa]

For now Designer only allows standard vtypes in text fields and I have various custom vtypes.

To use them I had to create custom components.

Can you use overrides in this case?

Can you use overrides in this case?

Yes if you create a custom component, trickly if you do at container level.

+1 for this. I've got a fairly large project and I prefer not to have to make extra classes just to set one property. Right now I'm using a slightly different workaround (below), but this feature would obviously be better.

On my fields that need custom validator i create a 'beforereneder' event handler and put:
var me = abstractcomponent;
me.vtype = 'customValidator';


Works for me so far, and it's in one place.

This is such a simple change for Senca to make in Architect. Just allow users to type in a vtype name in addition to selecting from the drop-down list. Having to code a before-render event just to force in a vtype is a pain and makes for messy code.

Please Sencha, Add this to the next build.

this feature is included in the 2.2 release (next release)
