An Action is a piece of reusable functionality that can be abstracted out of any particular component so that it -can be usefully shared among multiple components. Actions let you share handlers, configuration options and UI -updates across any components that support the Action interface (primarily Ext.toolbar.Toolbar, Ext.button.Button -and Ext.menu.Menu components).
- - -Use a single Action instance as the config object for any number of UI Components which share the same configuration. The -Action not only supplies the configuration, but allows all Components based upon it to have a common set of methods -called at once through a single call to the Action.
- - -Any Component that is to be configured with an Action must also support -the following methods:
setText(string)setIconCls(string)setDisabled(boolean)setVisible(boolean)setHandler(function)This allows the Action to control its associated Components.
- - -Example usage:
// Define the shared Action. Each Component below will have the same
-// display text and icon, and will display the same message on click.
-var action = new Ext.Action({
- text: 'Do something',
- handler: function(){
- Ext.Msg.alert('Click', 'You did something.');
- },
- iconCls: 'do-something',
- itemId: 'myAction'
-});
-
-var panel = new Ext.panel.Panel({
- title: 'Actions',
- width: 500,
- height: 300,
- tbar: [
- // Add the Action directly to a toolbar as a menu button
- action,
- {
- text: 'Action Menu',
- // Add the Action to a menu as a text item
- menu: [action]
- }
- ],
- items: [
- // Add the Action to the panel body as a standard button
- new Ext.button.Button(action)
- ],
- renderTo: Ext.getBody()
-});
-
-// Change the text for all components using the Action
-action.setText('Something else');
-
-// Reference an Action through a container using the itemId
-var btn = panel.getComponent('myAction');
-var aRef = btn.baseAction;
-aRef.setText('New text');
-The CSS class selector that specifies a background image to be used as the header icon for -all components configured by this Action (defaults to '').
- -An example of specifying a custom icon class would be something like: -
- - -// specify the property in the config for the class:
- ...
- iconCls: 'do-something'
-
-// css class that specifies background image to be used as the icon image:
-.do-something { background-image: url(../images/my-icon.gif) 0 6px no-repeat !important; }
-True to disable all components configured by this Action, false to enable them (defaults to false).
