TextField getEl() returns undefined

[edipper]

Hello,
I am extending a textfield and overriding the "setValue" function. In the "setValue" function, when i call "getEl()" it returns "undefined". Is there an event that fires when the control is completely loaded and if so how do i use it in the context of my control? Thanks.

Hello, I figured it out...
I hooked up the "afterrender" event in my "initCompoment" event...

this.on( 'afterrender', this.onAfterRender, this );
