What is the basic thing to keep in mind about forms?
• A BasicForm is not a layout managing Container. It exists solely to manage a collection of Ext.form.Field objects. Those Fields need to be rendered. • You need to add Fields to an Ext.form.FormPanel which is a Container which manages child Components, rendering them and sizing them where configured. • A FormPanel owns a BasicForm which is used to perform submissions and loads. • In order to render Fields correctly with labels, the container they are in (no matter what kind of Panel it is) must have layout:’form’. This is because it is the layout manager that actually renders child items. Only the FormLayout class knows how to render form Fields with all their extra wrappings.
