/**
 * @class Ext.Component
 * @extends Ext.util.Observable
 * <p>Base class for all Ext components.  All subclasses of Component may participate in the automated
 * Ext component lifecycle of creation, rendering and destruction which is provided by the {@link Ext.Container Container} class.
 * Components may be added to a Container through the {@link Ext.Container#items items} config option at the time the Container is created,
 * or they may be added dynamically via the {@link Ext.Container#add add} method.</p>
 * <p>The Component base class has built-in support for basic hide/show and enable/disable behavior.</p>
 * <p>All Components are registered with the {@link Ext.ComponentMgr} on construction so that they can be referenced at any time via
 * {@link Ext#getCmp}, passing the {@link #id}.</p>
 * <p>All user-developed visual widgets that are required to participate in automated lifecycle and size management should subclass Component (or
 * {@link Ext.BoxComponent} if managed box model handling is required, ie height and width management).</p>
 * <p>See the <a href="http://extjs.com/learn/Tutorial:Creating_new_UI_controls">Creating new UI controls</a> tutorial for details on how
 * and to either extend or augment ExtJs base classes to create custom Components.</p>
 * <p>Every component has a specific xtype, which is its Ext-specific type name, along with methods for checking the
 * xtype like {@link #getXType} and {@link #isXType}. This is the list of all valid xtypes:</p>

     * across page loads and cannot be relied upon to save and restore the same

     * object hash which represents the Component's restorable state.</p>
     * <p>The value yielded by getState is passed to {@link Ext.state.Manager#set}
     * which uses the configured {@link Ext.state.Provider} to save the object
     * keyed by the Component's <code>{@link stateId}</code>, or, if that is not
     * specified, its <code>{@link #id}</code>.</p>

     * <code>{@link #stateId}</code>, or, if that is not specified, the
     * <code>{@link #id}</code>.</p>
     * <p>The resulting object is passed to <b><code>applyState</code></b>.
     * The default implementation of <code>applyState</code> simply copies
     * properties into the object, but a developer may override this to support
     * more behaviour.</p>
     * <p>You can perform extra processing on state save and restore by attaching
