firing events on controller from view

[adeelmahmood]

I am not sure how I can fire an event on the controller from my view. I want the event to be triggered from the view .. something like

listeners: {
			itemtap: function(dv, i, t, r, evt){
				console.log('itemtap called');
				//get the selected element
				var el = Ext.get(evt.target);
				//fire the selected event
				this.fireEvent('tapListingItem', r, el);
			}
		}

on the controller side I want to capture this event but I dont want to create a hard reference to this list. I simply want the event to be fired on the controller without it knowing about who fired it Because the same controller is supposed to handle these events from multiple lists.

Thanks
Adeel

This is up to your ComponentQuery in the control config in the controllers. If it is generic enough then it won't be bound to knowing the application structure.

control : {
    'dataview' : {
        tapListingItem : 'onTapListingItem'
    }
}

That is generic to listen to any tapListingItem event on any dataview (or subclass like List).
