    Ok,

    first, you need to define a class, in this class you will put the “var formGrid” from example, only that. All the other stuff, myData, and logics are going to be in a separate file. Then you will say in items, “Create” the class that you have defined. So, not all data from example is going to be in class(define), but only the panel with the grid. I try this and it works for me.

    here: first file(class)

    Ext.define("app.formGrid",{
        extend:"Ext.form.Panel",
        id: 'company-form',
        frame: true,
        title: 'Company data',
        bodyPadding: 5,
        width: 750,
        layout: 'column',    // Specifies that the items will now be arranged in columns
    
        fieldDefaults: {
            labelAlign: 'left',
            msgTarget: 'side'
        },
    
        items: [{
            columnWidth: 0.60,
            xtype: 'gridpanel',
            store: ds,
            height: 400,
            title:'Company Data',
    
            columns: [
                {
                    id       :'company',
                    text   : 'Company',
                    flex: 1,
                    sortable : true,
                    dataIndex: 'company'
                },
                {
                    text   : 'Price',
                    width    : 75,
                    sortable : true,
                    dataIndex: 'price'
                },
                {
                    text   : 'Change',

                    renderer : change,
                    dataIndex: 'change'
                },
                {
                    text   : '% Change',
                    width    : 75,
                    sortable : true,
                    renderer : pctChange,
                    dataIndex: 'pctChange'

     * Here is where we create the Form
     */
    
    
    
    gridForm.child('gridpanel').getSelectionModel().select(0);
    

    and the Ext.create in your main View:
    …

        items:[Ext.create("app.formGrid",{
                })]
    

    Just to explain why I have sead that before: HERE!

    II. Naming Conventions
    
    1) Classes
    
      Classes that are not distributed by Sencha should never use Ext as the top-level namespace.
