FormPanel readOnly

[yopiyop]

Can you add setReadOnly(boolean readOnly) method on FormPanel (
to set all form fields to read only) ?

thx
David

in Tab Form Panel example : FormPanel.getFields throws Exception (version beta 5):

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.TabPanel cannot be cast to com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.LayoutContainer

The problem is that you are adding a TabPanel to the FormPanel - you can only add widgets that extend Field to a FormPanel.

What you want to do is add a formpanel to a contentpanel and add the tabpanel to the contentpanel... does that make sense?

not really, look at source : http://extjs.com/explorer/#tabpanelform

Ahhh, TabForms are new - there is a bug in the code and you'll need to repost or move this to Bugs

[darrellmeyer]

The bug is fixed in SVN and I added setReadOnly to FormPanel.

Why i can t found the methode formPanel.getForm().getValues() in the class
com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.FormPanel
RequestBuilder rb ;
....
rb.sendRequest(formPanel.getForm().getValues(), new RequestCallback()
{
public void onResponseReceived(Request req, Response res)
{
etc...

you should really also post a new thread - don't jump on the back of another as it becomes confusing for future readers...

regarding your problem, you'll need to provide more details as RequestBuilder is a GWT class that is commonly used with GWT FormPanel... the GXT version is not the same nor is it based on the GWT FormPanel - so you won't be able to get/do the same things
