Extending a Ext.tab.Panel disables the tab switching

[Manasi Sakhare]

Here is one thing which i noticed, when I create a custom Tab Panel by Ext.define() and then extending the Ext.tab.Panel, the "activeitemchange" event is fired only once (i.e when the component renders for the first time).

After my custom tab panel is painted and I tap on the other tabs, the tabs do NOT switch. The contents of the first tab is shown throughout, no matter which ever tab I switch to.

One thing to note, I m using touch-charts in my app, hence using the sencha-touch-debug.js from the touch charts package only.(Don't know how this will affect).

Please help find a fix.. Is this a bug?

I do not see this behavior. Do you have a testcase to look at?

Using the latest touch charts sdk for Sencha touch 2 and also the latest version of sencha touch 2.0.0 gpl

When we overwrite the "initialize" function of the extended tab panel( can keep is blank also, but overwriting is imp), the active tab does not change. Why is this so?

I have also noticed this behaviour just having an empty initialize function on an extends tab panel stops the change event from firing.

Do you execute callParent within the initialize method?

[hbeing123]

No code at all actually, it's just an empty initialize function, as soon as I remove the function all together the switching works again.

[mitchellsimoens]

You are overriding framework behavior. If the initialize method is empty then you should just remove it. If you are doing something in it then you need to execute this.callParent();

this.callParent() does it for me, thanks again mitchell.
