Question

I have a json store that returns values in json format. Now I need to get the number of rows/records in the json string but when I use store.getCount() function it returns 0, but the combobox is populated with rows, and when I use store.length I get undefined, probably because its not an array anymore, its returning from store, which is calling php script. Anyways, whats the best approach for this problem?

Answer 1

Try this out:

var myStore = Ext.extend(Ext.data.JsonStore, {
  ... config...,
  count : 0,
  listeners : {
    load : function(){
      this.count = this.getCount();
  }
}

Ext.reg('myStore', myStore);

and then use inside panels:

items : [{
 xtype : 'myStore',
 id : 'myStoreId'
}]

Whenever you need to get the count then you can simply do this:

Ext.getCmp('myStoreId').count
