"cast" results of Ext.get()

[edreyer]

Hi all,

Hopefully this is just a quick stupid question.

Supposing you have a FormPanel in which it contains the following item:



...
items: [
new Ext.form.NumberField({
id: 'soldPriceField',
fieldLabel: 'Sold Price',
name: 'price',
allowBlank:false,
allowNegative:false
})
],
...


Then, later you want to get this NumberField to set it's value, I've got:


Ext.get('soldPriceField').setValue(0);

This blows up because Ext.get returns an Element, which does not support setValue().

What is the correct way to "cast" this to the appropriate type?

Thanks,
Erik

Use Ext.getCmp to return components (the component must have an id).
