Question

Is there a way to query “up”? I’m in a Component and want to register listeners to it’s parents events with control(). This requires a Query which gets me the parent of my main view.

Answer 1

In ExtJS4, you can use ‘up()’ from an Ext Element.

The params are a string of the parent element you wish to find e.g:

var parentEl = Ext.get('childID').up('div.parentClass'); 

If you provide some details about the structure of your components/elements I can give a specific example which should fit.

EDIT: To show going ‘up’ from a component

var myComponent = // however you've got it

var theParentEl = myComponent.getEl().up('div.parentClass');
