+/** + * @class Ext.util.DelayedTask + * + * The DelayedTask class provides a convenient way to "buffer" the execution of a method, * performing setTimeout where a new timeout cancels the old timeout. When called, the * task will wait the specified time period before executing. If durng that time period, * the task is called again, the original call will be cancelled. This continues so that - * the function is only called a single time for each iteration. - *+};This method is especially useful for things like detecting whether a user has finished + * the function is only called a single time for each iteration. + * + * This method is especially useful for things like detecting whether a user has finished * typing in a text field. An example would be performing validation on a keypress. You can * use this class to buffer the keypress events for a certain number of milliseconds, and - * perform only if they stop for that amount of time. Usage:
- *-var task = new Ext.util.DelayedTask(function(){ - alert(Ext.getDom('myInputField').value.length); -}); -// Wait 500ms before calling our function. If the user presses another key -// during that 500ms, it will be cancelled and we'll wait another 500ms. -Ext.get('myInputField').on('keypress', function(){ - task.{@link #delay}(500); -}); - *
Note that we are using a DelayedTask here to illustrate a point. The configuration - * option buffer for {@link Ext.util.Observable#addListener addListener/on} will - * also setup a delayed task for you to buffer events.
