2 to have a property "events" with all the events defined, and, optionally, a property "listeners"
3 with configured listeners defined.<br>
4 For example:
5 <pre><code>Employee = Ext.extend(Ext.util.Observable, {
6     constructor: <b>function</b>(config){
7         this.name = config.name;
8         this.addEvents({

13         <i>// Copy configured listeners into *this* object so that the base class&#39;s</i>
14         <i>// constructor will add them.</i>
15         this.listeners = config.listeners;
16
17         <i>// Call our superclass constructor to complete construction process.</i>
18         Employee.superclass.constructor.call(config)
19     }
20 });</code></pre>
21 This could then be used like this:<pre><code><b>var</b> newEmployee = <b>new</b> Employee({

35 is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the <a href="output/Ext.DataView.html" ext:cls="Ext.DataView">DataView</a>'s
