Getting a form from an Ext.form.Panel

Using an Ext.form.Panel is an excellent choice for form-type screens as it can simplify some aspects of the interface. One such simplification is the ability to call isValid(), which allows you to validate all the fields in the form at once. This can, for example, check that fields with a vtype of email are in a format of name@server.com. The problem I ran into however, is that an Ext.form.Panel does not have the method isValid(). The object you want is the underlying Ext.form.BasicForm. To get the child form, you can simply call getForm().

var panel = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
    items: [...]
});

var validity = panel.getForm().isValid();
