[ExtJs] Question about form layout

    In the insert and update windows used by for example modExtra there appears to be a fixed amount of real estate for field labels.

    Is there any way I can tweak that or - even better - make it dependable on the longest label string?

    I looked at ExtJs layouts but could not find any pointers in the example apps.

    Thanks.

      Add a ’labelWidth’ property to the FormPanel config, not on the field config itself. From what ExtJS says, it takes a number for X pixels in width.

          Hello

          BTW if you want to modify the width for only one label, you can specify it by using the labelStyle in the field config like that

          xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: _('cispeo.phone'),
labelStyle: 'color:green; font-style:bold; width:130px;',
name: 'phone1'


          Cheers
