[SOLVED] Access Elements in Valence top Bar

[ktoole]

I would like to get at information I put in the top tool bar that is part of Valence. I put something in the hook.js to create an element in the toolbar, but I can't seem to get at it. I tried using "var tbSpecialText=this.parent.Ext.ComponentQuery.query ('#specialHeaderText')[0];" that was suggested by Robert in an earlier post, http://cnxforum.com/showthread.php?1...ith-the-login), but that did not work. Any other suggestions?

        		            	toolbar.insert(3,{
        		                    xtype     : 'displayfield',
        		                    fieldLabel: '<b>Company</b>',
        		                    value     : '<p style="font-size:16px; color:red">'+data.COMPNAME+'</p>',
        		                    itemId    : 'headerCompanyName',
                                                id           : 'headerCompanyName',
        		                    padding   : "0 5 0 125",
        		                    labelWidth: 60,
        		                    dataValue : data.COMPNAME,
        		                    companyValue : data.COMPANY
        		                });

This put the item on the toolbar in the hook.js file using the navtoolbarready section. I want to access this component from inside one of my .js programs running. How do I do that? I tried using Ext.getCmp('headerCompanyName') and that was invalid. I tried this.parent and got the same thing. I am doing this in the boxready event on the viewport I have created.

Try parent.getCmp('headerCompanyName')

Thanks Eric. I put in parent.Ext.getCmp('headerCompanyName') and it worked like a charm.
