ViewController config for view's DOM element?

[Chad Glendenin]

In a particular Sencha Touch app, I think I need to listen for the 'tap' event on a DOM element, because, for various reasons, I need an entire container and its content to be "tappable." Is there a way to do that in the `control` block in a Deft ViewController?

Basically, I want to replace the following legacy code in an old view class with something in a Deft VC:

config: {

...

listeners: {

tap: {

element: 'element',

fn: 'onElementTap'

}

}

Or is there a better approach? (This one is sort of a hack, but it's simple and effective.)

Thanks!

Not sure if that will work. The addListener() method of Observable is different than the one for AbstractComponent (http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/source/AbstractComponent.html#Ext-AbstractComponent-method-addListener). It has extra logic to locate the DOM object and pass it to the listener in options.element.

Since you'd need the actual reference to the DOM object itself, I think you'd need to set up the listener yourself using this.addComponentSelector() or your own addListener().
