[CLOSED] Change Listener has different behavior in version 2.x than in 1.x

[MacGarnicle]

I have two projects, one with Ext.NET 1.x and one with 2.x.

I run the following code in both the Ext.NET 1.x and the 2.x project:

       <ext:TextField 
                    ID="txtUsername" 
                    runat="server" 
                    FieldLabel="Username" 
                    EmptyText="Enter your username"
                    AnchorHorizontal="100%">
                <Listeners>
                    <Change Handler="console.log('changed');" />
                </Listeners>
      </ext:TextField>

In 1.x, the change event fires only when you lose focus (on blur) and there has been a text change ? This works as expected.

In 2.x, the change event fires every single time a key is pressed.

On a related note, I?ve also noticed that

<SpecialKey Handler="alert('I am special');? />

Fires only in 1.x, and it does not fire in 2.x.

Maybe I?m using it incorrectly, or there?s a change in 2.x that isn?t mentioned in the change log. Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, it has been changed and not listed in the changelog. We will add a respective item, thanks for the report.

Please note that it's documented in ExtJS docs:

Ext.NET v1 / ExtJS v3

Fires just before the field blurs if the field value has changed.

http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/3-4/#!...d-event-change

Ext.NET v2 / ExtJS v4

Fires when a user-initiated change is detected in the value of the field.

http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!...d-event-change

On a related note, I?ve also noticed that

<SpecialKey Handler="alert('I am special');? />

Fires only in 1.x, and it does not fire in 2.x.

Please start a new forum thread.

Thank you for your response.

The Ext.JS documentation is extremely helpful.

As for the special key, it actually does fire - I must have mixed something up yesterday.

What does behave differently though (as I notice) is the way I interact with objects. I had "btnLogin.fireEvent('click')" in the Handler for version 1.x. This doesn't work in 2.x. Now I find I have to use "Ext.getCmp('btnLogin').fireEvent('click')".

If you would like, I can start a new thread about that.

Thanks.
