A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching multiple handlers at once. DOM events from ExtJs Components While some ExtJs Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the DataView's `click` event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM events directly from a a child element of a Component, we need to specify this explicitly: `new Ext.Panel({ width: 400, height: 200, dockedItems: [{ xtype: 'toolbar' }], listeners: { click: { element: 'el', //bind to the underlying el property on the panel fn: function(){ console.log('click el'); } }, dblclick: { element: 'body', //bind to the underlying body property on the panel fn: function(){ console.log('dblclick body'); } } } });`	Observable

If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event. delay : Number The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires. single : Boolean True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself. buffer : Number Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place. target : Observable Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event was bubbled up from a child Observable. element : String The element reference on the component to bind the event to. This is used to bind DOM events to underlying elements on Components. - This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components Combining Options Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners: A delayed, one-time listener. `myPanel.on('hide', this.onClick, this, { single: true, delay: 100 });` Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers. Returns: void	Observable
	addManagedListener( `Observable\|Element item`, `Object\|String ename`, `Function fn`, `Object scope`, `Object opt` ) : void Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is destroyed...

	enableBubble( `String/Array events` ) : void Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if present.... Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling `this.getBubbleTarget()` if present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class. This is commonly used by Ext.Components to bubble events to owner Containers. See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget. The default implementation in Ext.Component returns the Component's immediate owner. But if a known target is required, this can be overridden to access the required target more quickly. Example: Ext.override(Ext.form.Field, { // Add functionality to Field's initComponent to enable the change event to bubble initComponent : Ext.createSequence(Ext.form.Field.prototype.initComponent, function() { this.enableBubble('change'); }), // We know that we want Field's events to bubble directly to the FormPanel. getBubbleTarget : function() { if (!this.formPanel) { this.formPanel = this.findParentByType('form'); } return this.formPanel; } }); var myForm = new Ext.formPanel({ title: 'User Details', items: [{ ... }], listeners: { change: function() { // Title goes red if form has been modified. myForm.header.setStyle('color', 'red'); } } }); Parameters: `events` : String/Array The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.

Sends an HTTP request to a remote server. Important: Ajax server requests are asynchronous, and this call will return before the response has been received. Process any returned data in a callback function. `Ext.Ajax.request({ url: 'ajax_demo/sample.json', success: function(response, opts) { var obj = Ext.decode(response.responseText); console.dir(obj); }, failure: function(response, opts) { console.log('server-side failure with status code ' + response.status); } });` To execute a callback function in the correct scope, use the `scope` option. Parameters: `options` : Object An object which may contain the following properties: url : String/Function (Optional) The URL to which to send the request, or a function to call which returns a URL string. The scope of the function is specified by the `scope` option. Defaults to the configured `url`. params : Object/String/Function (Optional) An object containing properties which are used as parameters to the request, a url encoded string or a function to call to get either. The scope of the function is specified by the `scope` option. method : String (Optional) The HTTP method to use for the request. Defaults to the configured method, or if no method was configured, "GET" if no parameters are being sent, and "POST" if parameters are being sent. Note that the method name is case-sensitive and should be all caps. callback : Function (Optional) The function to be called upon receipt of the HTTP response. The callback is called regardless of success or failure and is passed the following parameters: options : Object The parameter to the request call. success : Boolean True if the request succeeded. response : Object The XMLHttpRequest object containing the response data. See http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/ for details about accessing elements of the response. success : Function (Optional) The function to be called upon success of the request. The callback is passed the following parameters: response : Object The XMLHttpRequest object containing the response data. options : Object The parameter to the request call. failure : Function (Optional) The function to be called upon failure of the request. The callback is passed the following parameters: response : Object The XMLHttpRequest object containing the response data. options : Object The parameter to the request call. scope : Object (Optional) The scope in which to execute the callbacks: The "this" object for the callback function. If the `url`, or `params` options were specified as functions from which to draw values, then this also serves as the scope for those function calls. Defaults to the browser window. timeout : Number (Optional) The timeout in milliseconds to be used for this request. Defaults to 30 seconds. form : Element/HTMLElement/String (Optional) The `<form>` Element or the id of the `<form>` to pull parameters from. isUpload : Boolean (Optional) Only meaningful when used with the `form` option. True if the form object is a file upload (will be set automatically if the form was configured with `enctype` "multipart/form-data"). File uploads are not performed using normal "Ajax" techniques, that is they are not performed using XMLHttpRequests. Instead the form is submitted in the standard manner with the DOM `<form>` element temporarily modified to have its target set to refer to a dynamically generated, hidden `<iframe>` which is inserted into the document but removed after the return data has been gathered. The server response is parsed by the browser to create the document for the IFRAME. If the server is using JSON to send the return object, then the Content-Type header must be set to "text/html" in order to tell the browser to insert the text unchanged into the document body. The response text is retrieved from the document, and a fake XMLHttpRequest object is created containing a `responseText` property in order to conform to the requirements of event handlers and callbacks. Be aware that file upload packets are sent with the content type multipart/form and some server technologies (notably JEE) may require some custom processing in order to retrieve parameter names and parameter values from the packet content. headers : Object (Optional) Request headers to set for the request. xmlData : Object (Optional) XML document to use for the post. Note: This will be used instead of params for the post data. Any params will be appended to the URL. jsonData : Object/String (Optional) JSON data to use as the post. Note: This will be used instead of params for the post data. Any params will be appended to the URL. disableCaching : Boolean (Optional) True to add a unique cache-buster param to GET requests. The options object may also contain any other property which might be needed to perform postprocessing in a callback because it is passed to callback functions. Returns: `Object` request The request object. This may be used to cancel the request.	Connection

(see suspendEvents) If events were suspended using the `queueSuspended` parameter, then all events fired during event suspension will be sent to any listeners now. Parameters: None. Returns: void	Observable
	suspendEvents( `Boolean queueSuspended` ) : void Suspend the firing of all events. (see resumeEvents) Suspend the firing of all events. (see resumeEvents) Parameters: `queueSuspended` : Boolean Pass as true to queue up suspended events to be fired after the resumeEvents call instead of discarding all suspended events; Returns: void	Observable
	un( `String eventName`, `Function handler`, [`Object scope`] ) : void Removes an event handler (shorthand for removeListener.) Removes an event handler (shorthand for removeListener.) Parameters: `eventName` : String The type of event the handler was associated with. `handler` : Function The handler to remove. This must be a reference to the function passed into the addListener call. `scope` : Object (optional) The scope originally specified for the handler. Returns: void	Observable
