Form inside Window problem

[SchattenMann]

hi to all

i'm having some hard time to find the solution for this.

new Ext.Window({
 id:'window_novo_contacto'
,title:'Novo Contacto'
,layout:'fit'
,autoWidth:true
,closable:true
,border:false
,hideMode:'offsets'
,deferredRender:false
,autoDestroy: false
,items: [contacto_form]
}).show()

where contacto_form is a very simple form.

my problem is that it works first time but when close and re-open the window, form don't show up.

i have a similar problem with tabs and tried to solved it in the same way but nothing appears to work. i do believe that it have a very easy solution...i simple can't find it

tks

conctacto_form should be a configuration object.
Else, you'll need to use a singleton.

is it possible to explain it in english? :P cuz now im confused

contacto_form should be something like:

var contacto_form =  {
     xtype : 'form',
     items : [ ... formpanel items ... ]
}

instead of

var contacto_form = new Ext.form.FormPanel();

you are getting bit by not knowing about the container model and some object oriented principles.

Or use closeAction: 'hide', and just reshow the same Window next time.

jgarcia & animal: tks for your answer.both have been my salvation more then once already

jgarcia: your solution worked!many tks!

animal: that was exactly what i was trying to achieve! tried with autoDestroy:false but no success. tried your solution first but the behavior is very weird! window is only closed first time. when re-open 2 things hapen:

• if form not a config object window is opened very very small(only window title width) and is not possible to close it again...
• if form is a config object window is opened and add the form fields to the already existing ones.again is not possible to close it...

very weird behavior ...

What do the docs for autoDestroy say?

Read the docs for closeAction.
