What to use instead of id's????

[markgogreen]

I am trying to reuse some view, but I have conditions based on if the user is logged in or not. I am doing a hide and show on the different items. Of course, when I use id and the getCmp, I get errors because the id's have already been used.

I saw a post for itemid, but that doesn't seem to be working. Each item is a unique xtype, something like this:

items: [
{
xtype: 'comment_form_MPF'
},
{
xtype: 'comment_not_logged_in_MPF'
}

],

Isn't there away to get the xtype??

Any suggestions would be great.

Use Ext.ComponentQuery.query('your_xtype')

Makes sense. The Ext.ComponentQuery.query doesn't seem to have any methods. How would I hide and show?

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'hide'

Query is simply used to gain access to the control. Then you issue the method

var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
    title: 'Contact Info',
    width: 300,
    bodyPadding: 10,
    renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
    items: [{
        xtype: 'textfield',
        name: 'name',
        itemId: 'mytextfield',
        fieldLabel: 'Name'
    }, {
        xtype: 'textfield',
        name: 'email',
        fieldLabel: 'Email Address'
    }]
});

// same premise as using query
var tfield = form.down('#mytextfield');
tfield.hide();
