Question

I created a rectangle by using this code:

var drawComponent = Ext.create('Ext.draw.Component', {
    autoSize: true,
    viewBox: false,
    x: 200,
    y: 100,
    draggable: true,
    viewBox: false,
    renderTo: document.body
}),
    surface = drawComponent.surface;

sprite = surface.add({
    type: 'rect',
    fill: 'white',
    stroke: 'red',
    x: 10,
    y: 5,
    'stroke-width': 3,
    width: 100,
    height: 50
});
sprite.show(true);​

After that I’ve add it to window.

Now I want to create many draw components so I created a custom class like this:

Ext.define('DrawComponent', {
    extend: 'Ext.draw.Component',
    autoSize: true,
    viewBox: false,
    draggable: true,
    renderTo: document.body
});​

I’m using this custom class like this:

var drawComponent = Ext.create('DrawComponent', {
    x: 200,
    y: 100
}),
    surface = drawComponent.surface;
sprite = surface.add({
    type: 'rect',
    fill: 'white',
    stroke: 'red',
    x: 10,
    y: 5,
    'stroke-width': 3,
    width: 100,
    height: 50
});
sprite.show(true);​

But here it is showing surface is undefined…
You can see my custom class am extending Ext.draw.component class why it is showing error

Surface is only available after rendering. So you may add an event handler for event afterrender in the initComponent method, and use the surface.
