Explain ExtJS 4 event handling

Question

I\'ve recently started learning ExtJS, and have trouble understanding how to handle Events. I have no experience of any previous versions of ExtJS.

From reading var

Answer 1

Just two more things I found helpful to know, even if they are not part of the question, really.

You can use the relayEvents method to tell a component to listen for certain events of another component and then fire them again as if they originate from the first component. The API docs give the example of a grid relaying the store load event. It is quite handy when writing custom components that encapsulate several sub-components.

The other way around, i.e. passing on events received by an encapsulating component mycmp to one of its sub-components subcmp, can be done like this

mycmp.on('show' function (mycmp, eOpts)
{
   mycmp.subcmp.fireEvent('show', mycmp.subcmp, eOpts);
});
