the first argument of the click handler is undefined

[flamant]

Hi,
I instanciate a button with a click handler

var newButton = new Ext.Button({
                        id: decomp[i]+i,
                        text: decomp[i],
                        toggleGroup: 'role',
                        listeners: {
                            click: function(button, evt) {
                                console.log('ca passe');
                                console.log(button);
                                currentRole = button.getText().trim();
                                ............
                           }
                       }
})

When I explicitely fire the event "click" I get a javascript error saying that button ( the first argument) is undefined

What error could it be ?

Thank you in advance for your answers

How are you fireing the click event? If you directly call btn.fireEvent('click'); without passing any params, it's normal that no params will get passed to the click handler function.

Hi scarsick and thank you for your answer,

you mean that I have to code

btn.fireEvent('click', btn)  ?

But what about the second argument (the argument evt) for example. It is peculiar that you have to pass arguments

Yes this is what I mean..., but, why are you trying to manually fire the event? If you want to do something, you can just call a function directly, you don't have to fire the click event so that the function will get called...

And if you don't use the event argument, then you don't have to pass it! Doesn't that stand to reason?
