Question

i use a tab panel in extjs. I want to display an alert when clicked on a tab. But i am not sure how.

This is what i do now:

{
                xtype: 'tabpanel',
                activeTab: 0,
                region: 'center',
                items: [
                    {
                        xtype: 'panel',
                        title: 'All',
                        items: [grid]

                    },
                    {
                        xtype: 'panel',
                        title: 'Closed'
                    },
                    {
                        xtype: 'panel',
                        title: 'Open'
                    }
                ],
                 listeners: {
            click: function () {
                alert('test');
            }
                         }
            }

How can is display All, Closed or Open when there is clicked on that tab?

There is no event for tab click in TabPanel, however you can bind into click event on each tab:

Ext.createWidget('tabpanel', {
    items: [...],
    listeners: {
        render: function() {
            this.items.each(function(i){
                i.tab.on('click', function(){
                    alert(i.title);
                });
            });
        }
    }
});

Notice: this is ExtJS 4 based code.
