List update without a store

[crsssl]

I've tried umpteen number of ways to do this, but it would seem you can't get a list to refresh once the data has been updated. It works automatically when binding the list to a store, but not when the "fields" and "data" properties are defined, i.e.:

{
xtype: 'list',
itemId: 'mainlist',
itemTpl: '<div>{text} {val}</div>',
fields: ['text', 'val'],
data: [
{ text: 'Property1', val:'0' },
{ text: 'Property2', val:'0' }
]
}

Of course, in my controller I've tried:

myRefresh(): function () {
var data = this.getMainlist().getData();
data[0].val = '555'; // <-- some arbitrary value
this.getMainlist().setData(data)
this.getMainlist().initComponent();
this.getMainlistView().refresh();
}

... not to mention all kinds of other ways. The 'data' property of the list has indeed been changed (as I can see in my debugger), but the new data doesn't show up on the view/list.


Note: I don't want to set up a separate store just for the list items (to bind to). Tried it. That seemed to introduce a whole host of problems I don't even want to get into (e.g. store arbitrarily getting deleted). I just want to keep this simple and all inline/in-code, and using refresh() or some other event.

Has anybody done this? Has anybody solved this? Do I have to do some jQuery/DOM manipulation (which I would rather avoid)?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've tried the XTemplate 'overwrite' method, but that didn't seem to do anything. Maybe I don't have the right 'el' (element) as the first parm, or maybe I have to do some special kind of re-display of the list/panel, I don't know. If someone has successfully done this, walk me through the exact steps. Thanks.

Hi,
once you created the list you do have a list.
Ext.Viewport.down('.list').getStore()

Within that you might be able to change the records:
getStore().findRecord('text', 'Property2').set('text','PropertyX')

This should automatically update your list.

Who knew I could have a store without a Store?
That worked wonderfully. I'm very grateful.

btw: marking your answer as the best answer might be not too helpful for others with the same question.

Sorry, pressed the wrong button. If this can be fixed, let me know.
