Feature Request ext1: Field events - Ext JS

Hey,

the form-widgets in 1.0 are very cool! One i missed: events for valid / invalid. I have tried a dialog which has to resize for the actual size. With the new feature in alpha3 to show invalid messages under the field, my dialog has to resize after it is invalid or valid. I think a event will be cool, like this (simply put at the end of clearInvalid() and markInvalid() in Ext.form.Field). Maybe it will be a good idea to give a config flag so the field doesnt loose their focus if its invalid.

Slightly OT, but I don't like the display of error messages under the fields! It throws out page layout. The error display method should be configurable. eg, a config option: errorMethod: myfunc // Message is passed to the function called in scope of the field widget

I have seen that it is configurable only for all fields and how to show, this version with the method will give the developer complete control of it. Many many sites has an validation-summary too. In asp.net there you can put a validationsummary on you site which shows automatically the errors. Another good thing in asp.net that you has validation-groups, you can assign fields to this group and use a global method isValid(). With this, you can validate groups as its own.

invalid/valid events could fire very often but I agree, they need to be there. I will add them in. Animal, the msgTarget is extremely configurable. The supported values 'qtip', 'title', 'under' or 'any element id'. The other option is to override the markInvalid/clearInvalid methods (which would be the function you're describing). new Ext.form.TextField({ allowBlank: false, markInvalid : function(msg){ // do something }, clearInvalid : function(){ // do something } });
