Class Ext.ux.TaskBar

A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching multiple handlers at once.

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 Component's HTMLElement, listeners must be added to the Element after the Component has been rendered. A plugin can simplify this step:

// Plugin is configured with a listeners config object.
// The Component is appended to the argument list of all handler functions.
Ext.DomObserver = Ext.extend(Object, {
    constructor: function(config) {
        this.listeners = config.listeners ? config.listeners : config;
    },

    // Component passes itself into plugin's init method
    init: function(c) {
        var p, l = this.listeners;
        for (p in l) {
            if (Ext.isFunction(l[p])) {
                l[p] = this.createHandler(l[p], c);
            } else {
                l[p].fn = this.createHandler(l[p].fn, c);
            }
        }

        // Add the listeners to the Element immediately following the render call
        c.render = c.render.createSequence(function() {
            var e = c.getEl();
            if (e) {
                e.on(l);
            }
        });
    },

    createHandler: function(fn, c) {
        return function(e) {
            fn.call(this, e, c);
        };
    }
});

var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({

    // Collapse combo when its element is clicked on
    plugins: [ new Ext.DomObserver({
        click: function(evt, comp) {
            comp.collapse();
        }
    })],
    store: myStore,
    typeAhead: true,
    mode: 'local',
    triggerAction: 'all'
});
