in a Extjs application I have a Grid and a Tabs line over it. Content of the Grid depends on the selected Tab. Say tabs has Jan-Feb-Mar-... values. Clicking of the Tab I would reload grid's store
Question: is it possible to avoid duplicating of the 12 grid components in favor to have one shared instance?
Thanks
Disclaimer: searching at the sencha's forum, google, stackoverflow was not successful :(
I haven't tried this myself, but I imagine that you could create a TabPanel with empty tabs and size the TabPanel so that only the tab strip is visible. Under that (using the appropriate layout, border, vbox, etc.) create your GridPanel and use the TabPanel's activate event to reload the grid based on the currently-active tab.
Hope the following implementation meet your needs 1. Create your custom grid and register it 2. place it tab panel
As the grid is created using xtype, it would not create 12 instances when you change tabs.
Application.PersonnelGrid = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, {
border:false
,initComponent:function() {
Ext.apply(this, {
store:new Ext.data.Store({...})
,columns:[{...}, {...}]
,plugins:[...]
,viewConfig:{forceFit:true}
,tbar:[...]
,bbar:[...]
});
Application.PersonnelGrid.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
} // eo function initComponent
,onRender:function() {
this.store.load();
Application.PersonnelGrid.superclass.onRender.apply(this, arguments);
} // eo function onRender
});
Ext.reg('personnelgrid', Application.PersonnelGrid);
var panel = new Ext.TabPanel({
items:[{
title:'Jan',
items: [{xtype:'personnelgrid'}]
}, {
title: 'Feb',
items: [{xtype:'personnelgrid'}]
}
....
{
title: 'Dec',
items: [{xtype:'personnelgrid'}]
}]
})
Since this is the only place discussed about this until now, I share what I just found.
The trick is use dockedItems in ExtJs 4 (Not sure either grid can be added into tbar in ExtJs 3)
When changing the active tab, only body will be change but not the docked item. Just set the grid height equal to the body during boxready and resize so that we can't see the body anymore.
This is the code for ExtJs 4.2 MVC that also make use of refs.
Ext.define('app.controller.Notification', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views: ['notification.List'],
stores: ['Notification'],
models: ['Notification'],
refs: [{
ref: 'pnlNotif',
selector: 'pnlNotif'
}, {
ref: 'notifList',
selector: 'notifList'
}],
init: function () {
this.control({
'dbPnlNotif': {
added: this.pnlNotifAdded,
boxready: this.calcNotifListSize,
resize: this.calcNotifListSize,
tabchange: this.pnlNotifTabChange
}
});
},
pnlNotifAdded: function (pnlNotif) {
pnlNotif.add({ title: '1', html: '1' });
pnlNotif.add({ title: '2', html: '2' });
pnlNotif.add({ title: '3', html: '3' });
},
calcNotifListSize: function (pnlNotif) {
// calc the notification list height to make sure it use the whole body
// This way we can use only one instance of list to display for each tabs
// because the list is rendered as dockedItems
var height = pnlNotif.getHeight();
var headerHeight = pnlNotif.getDockedItems()[0].getHeight();
var tabBarHeight = pnlNotif.getDockedItems()[1].getHeight();
height = height - headerHeight - tabBarHeight;
if (this.getNotifList().getHeight() !== height) {
this.getNotifList().setHeight(height - 1);// - 1 to include border bottom
}
},
pnlNotifTabChange: function (pnlNotif, newTab) {
// do something to filter the list based on selected tab.
}
});
Ext.define('ML.view.Notification', {
extend: 'Ext.tab.Panel',
alias: ['widget.pnlNotif'],
title: 'Notification',
dockedItems: [{
xtype: 'notifList'
}]
});
Ext.define('ML.view.notification.List', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
alias: 'widget.notifList',
dock: 'top',
store: 'Notification',
initComponent: function () {
this.columns = [
...
];
this.callParent(arguments);
}
});
Try this
var gridJanName = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {

tbar:tbgridTools,

pageSize: 100,
maxWidth:700,
features: [groupFeature],
selModel: {
mode: 'MULTI'
},
columns: [
{xtype:'rownumberer',width:50},
{dataIndex:'id', hidden:true},
//etc
]
});
var gridFebName = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
enableColumnHide: false,

{dataIndex:'id', hidden:true},
//etc

});
//
//etc grid
//
var JanPanel = Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel', {
title:'Jan',
bodyPadding: 5,
Width:780,

});
var FebPanel = Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel', {

//etc
var eachMonthstabs = Ext.create('Ext.tab.Panel', {
minTabWidth: 130,
