Show/Hide on TextField with note doesn't affect note

[RobertWrayUK]

When using an ext tag as per below:

    <ext:TextField runat="server id="MyTextField" Note="My Note">

Actual Behaviour: Using the javascript show()/hide() functions doesn't show/hide the text of the note.

Expected Behaviour: The note should show/hide as appropriate.

Workaround:

function showHideWithNote(fieldWithNote, show)
{
    var note = fieldWithNote.el.dom.parentElement.children[1];
    if (show)
    {
        fieldWithNote.show();
        note.style.display = 'block';
    }
    else
    {
        fieldWithNote.hide();
        note.style.display = 'none';
    }
}

Hi,

Thanks. Fixed. Also we introduced showNote/hideNote methods.


Small tip for your workaround: there is noteEl field. So, you can use

 fieldWithNote.noteEl.style.display= ....

Thanks for the rapid response! :) I hadn't spotted the "noteEl", useful to know!

My only concern with the showNote/hideNote methods would be discoverability as I (and others I know) use the Ext API Docs as a reference manual for Coolite, which obviously won't have the two new methods in them.... Would it perhaps make more sense from a functionality and API cleanliness point-of-view to instead modify the show()/hide() methods so that as well as showing and hiding the parent control, they also acquire responsibility for the note? :=)

Hi,

show/hide methods are show/hide note as well. So, you don't need to call both (like show and showNote or hide and hideNote). show/hide method shows/hides field and note
