Hi sencha community,

well, this is the problem, i want create a button that when it's tapped it's throw a field below it, like a cascade or chains of texfields, ¿How can i do that? i think that i can create my own xtype maybe a can do this, so any suggestions??

and another little thing, ¿where i can find the css of sencha docs examples? (i want implement the navigation.view example but i cant load the headshots i think that is because the css).

Thanks in advanced.

Hi

You can define your own xtype on a custom component by specifying the alias config option with a prefix of widget. For example:

Ext.define('PressMeButton',{
   extend:'Ext.button.Button',
alias:'widget.pressmebutton',
    text:'Press Me'})

For more about alias see http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/api/Ext.Class-cfg-alias

Using the xtype rather than alias is easier for beginners. Seems more straightforward.

Ext.define('mybutton', {
    extend: 'Ext.button.Button',
    xtype: 'mybutton',
    config: { ... }
});
