I have a form. And lots of textfields in it. I use allowBlank property not to allow user to left the field blank and blankText to define custom “blank error” text.
{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Surname',
name: 'person_surname',
allowBlank: false,
blankText: 'Please fill "Surname" field',
},
My question is:
Is there a way to use Ext.form.field.Text’s object property inside of another propery of the same object?
Something like:
{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Surname',
name: 'person_surname',
allowBlank: false,
blankText: 'Please fill "' + fieldLabel + '" field',
},
(doesn’t work)
or:
{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Surname',
name: 'person_surname',
allowBlank: false,
blankText: 'Please fill "' + this.fieldLabel + '" field',
},
(doesn’t work either)
Update:
For example in minLengthText property I can use template driven text like ‘The minimum length for this field is {0}’, which takes minLength property value of the same object.
I repeat: I use ExtJS’s object initialization method whith object literal syntax like:
{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Surname',
name: 'person_surname',
allowBlank: false,
blankText: 'Please fill "Surname" field',
},
This syntax is very neat, using another syntax is not welcome here.
Answer
try adding listener to your form if you don’t want to rewrite your code
example
listeners : {
render : function(){
Ext.each(form.items.items,function(fld,idx){
if(fld.getXType()=='textfield'){
fld.blankText = fld.fieldLabel;
}
});
}
}
