[Users] ext.form.textfield to Display OpenLayers MousePosition

[IT Intern]

Ok, I managed to get the js file for the MousePositionItem widget.  Using
this example as a guide,
http://dev.geoext.org/sandbox/cmoullet/ux/Toolbar/examples/ToolbarExample.html,
I still have some concerns.  In the example they have the mouseposition in
the same place OpenLayers will put it for me.  I'd really like to get the
mouseposition on the bbar itself, and even better, in a text field on the
bbar.  I have tried several approaches and none have yet to work:

var mousePositionItem = new GeoExt.ux.Toolbar.MousePositionItem({
                map: map,
                controlOptions: {
                numDigits: 0
                }
               });

bbar: [
                {
                    xtype: "textfield",
                    text: mousePositionItem.getText()          //This broke
the code, but is there a function like this?
                },
                {
                    xtype: "label",
                    text: "Scale = 1 : "
                }

                ],
                items: [ mousePositionItem,{ //This still kept the
mouseposition text on the map itself not on the bbar :(
                    xtype: "gx_zoomslider",
                    vertical: true,
                    height: 300,
                    x: 10,
                    y: 20,
                    plugins: new GeoExt.ZoomSliderTip()
                }]

My other approach was putting the mousePositionItem in the bbar field

bbar: [ mousePositionItem,  //was still on the map and not actually on the
bbar :(
                {
                    xtype: "textfield",
                    text: mousePositionItem.getText()          //This broke
the code, but is there a function like this?
                },
                {
                    xtype: "label",
                    text: "Scale = 1 : "
                }

                ]

Thanks for all the help,
