Question

I cannot see to get the buttons from an Ext.FormPanel defined like this:

Ext.apply({
    ....
    buttons: [
        {
            text: 'Save',
            itemId: 'btnSave'
        }
    ]
});

I’ve tried getComponent on the FormPanel instance, but that doesn’t return btnSave. Is btnSave on a different element than the rest of the form?

You can’t use getComponent() because the buttons are not part of the items config.

getComponent() – “Examines this container’s items property and gets a direct child component of this container.”

You could give the button an id and then use Ext.getCmp() or use component query as @limscoder shows.
