Mixins

A DragTracker listens for drag events on an Element and fires events at the start and end of the drag, as well as during the drag. This is useful for components such as Ext.slider.Multi, where there is an element that can be dragged around to change the Slider's value. DragTracker provides a series of template methods that should be overridden to provide functionality in response to detected drag operations. These are onBeforeStart, onStart, onDrag and onEnd. See Ext.slider.Multi's initEvents function for an example implementation.

Optional.

A DomQuery selector which identifies child elements within the DragTracker's encapsulating Element which are the tracked elements. This limits tracking to only begin when the matching elements are mousedowned.

DOM events from ExtJs Components


While some ExtJs Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this

is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the DataView's click event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM events directly from a child element of a Component, we need to specify the element option to identify the Component property to add a DOM listener to:

new Ext.panel.Panel({
    width: 400,
    height: 200,
    dockedItems: [{
        xtype: 'toolbar'
    }],
    listeners: {
        click: {
            element: 'el', //bind to the underlying el property on the panel
            fn: function(){ console.log('click el'); }
        },
        dblclick: {
            element: 'body', //bind to the underlying body property on the panel
            fn: function(){ console.log('dblclick body'); }
        }
    }
});

Methods

 
addEvents( Object/String o, String ) : void

Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Parameters

  • o : Object/String

    Either an object with event names as properties with a value of true or the first event name string if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters.

  • : String

    [additional] Optional additional event names if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters. Usage:

    this.addEvents('storeloaded', 'storecleared');
    

Returns

  • void   
 
addListener( String eventName, Function handler, [Object scope], [Object options]) : void

Appends an event handler to this object.

Appends an event handler to this object.

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names. See

  • handler : Function

    The method the event invokes.

  • scope : Object

    (optional) The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.

  • options : Object

    (optional) An object containing handler configuration. properties. This may contain any of the following properties:

    • scope : Object
      The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
    • delay : Number
      The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
    • single : Boolean
      True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
    • buffer : Number
      Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
    • target : Observable
      Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event was bubbled up from a child Observable.
    • element : String
      This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components. The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.

      This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of Components which will exist only after the Component is rendered. For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:

      new Ext.panel.Panel({
          title: 'The title',
          listeners: {
              click: this.handlePanelClick,
              element: 'body'
          }
      });
      

      When added in this way, the options available are the options applicable to Ext.core.Element.addListener


    Combining Options
    Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

    A delayed, one-time listener.

    myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
    single: true,
    delay: 100
    });

    Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call
    The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:

    myGridPanel.on({
        cellClick: this.onCellClick,
        mouseover: this.onMouseOver,
        mouseout: this.onMouseOut,
        scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
    });
    
    .

  • void

enableBubble( String/Array events) : void

Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class.

This is commonly used by Ext.Components to bubble events to owner Containers. See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget. The default implementation in Ext.Component returns the Component's immediate owner. But if a known target is required, this can be overridden to access the required target more quickly.

Example:

Ext.override(Ext.form.field.Base, {
//  Add functionality to Field's initComponent to enable the change event to bubble
initComponent : Ext.Function.createSequence(Ext.form.field.Base.prototype.initComponent, function() {
    this.enableBubble('change');
}),

//  We know that we want Field's events to bubble directly to the FormPanel.
getBubbleTarget : function() {
    if (!this.formPanel) {
        this.formPanel = this.findParentByType('form');
    }
    return this.formPanel;
}
});

var myForm = new Ext.formPanel({
title: 'User Details',
items: [{
    ...
}],
listeners: {
    change: function() {
        // Title goes red if form has been modified.
        myForm.header.setStyle('color', 'red');
    }
}
});

Parameters

  • events : String/Array

    The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.

Returns

  • void

Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name).

An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget) by calling enableBubble.

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    The name of the event to fire.

  • args : Object...

    Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.

Returns

  • Boolean   

    returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.

Returns the drag target. This is usually the DragTracker's encapsulating element.

If the delegate option is being used, this may be a child element which matches the delegate selector.

Returns

  • Ext.core.Element   

    The element currently being tracked.

 
getOffset( Object constrainMode) : Array

Returns the X, Y offset of the current mouse position from the mousedown point.

This method may optionally constrain the real offset values, and returns a point coerced in one of two modes:

  • point
    The current mouse position is coerced into the constrainRegion, and the resulting position is returned.
  • dragTarget
    The new Region of the dragTarget is calculated based upon the current mouse position, and then coerced into the constrainRegion. The returned mouse position is then adjusted by the same delta as was used to coerce the region.

Parameters

  • constrainMode : Object

    {String} Optional. If omitted the true mouse position is returned. May be passed as 'point' or 'dragTarget'. See above..

Returns

  • Array   

    The X, Y offset from the mousedown point, optionally constrained.

 
hasListener( String eventName) : Boolean

Checks to see if this object has any listeners for a specified event

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    console.log('Ajax request made to ' + options.url);
