Question

I have a checkbox that triggers a function that opens a small window with a grid and a form.
If closeAction:'close' the window is not reopened after closing (some error).
If closeAction:'hide' the window is reopened with a mess instead of its items.

I know that I can solve the problem by id:Ext.id() though I have other functions that are using the id’s.
Is there a way to reopen the window without these problems?
Part of the function creating the window, nothing unusual:

var errWindow = new Ext.Window({
        width:300,
        title:headerStr,
        closeAction:'hide',
        items: [errForm,problemsGrid]
    });
errWindow.show();

The items of the form have id’s like: “textfieldNumber1”. Without the id’s everithing works fine, but with them I get this

If you use closeAction: 'close' which is the default, then the window cannot be reopened with show(). If you use use closeAction: 'hide' then the window can be shown and hidden but you must do this with hide() and show() calls. A call to close() will destroy the window regardless of what closeAction is set to.
