Thanks Jim, I really appreciate the help you've been giving me this last few
days!
I actually found forEachChild in the API earlier and gave it a go, but after
your post I see where I went wrong. All the fields are on 3 splitpanes (labels
on the left, fields on the right), and each split pane is on it's own
TabViewPage.
So I will have to do this locally rather than a general function me thinks.
Just to clarify the use of forEachChild. Does this look right?
object.forEachChild(function(e) {
e.setValue('');
});
Cheers
Aaron

Subject: Re: [qooxdoo-devel] Resetting all fields
A brute force way would be to iterate each child control of the window
(assuming that you are placing your edit controls on the window itself and not
on some other control in the window) using forEachChild and then issue a
setValue('') on each child (wrap this in a try/catch because not all qooxdoo
controls have a setValue() method.
This is a brute force way but it will work. If you don't like the ugliness of
the try/catch, you can add a method to the qx Object as an empty method (that
way all controls can call the method but only ones that you create code for
will actually do something). Then in your edit control, override the method
with code to clear the value. Then you can also write a method of Object that
iterates all children and all their children and calls this new method for
clearing the value. Then you can make one call to the window to clearValues and
everything gets cleared.
I give you this cryptic answer to get you started, you always learn more from
working out the code yourself. If you are having trouble with the concepts or
with implementing it, let me know and I'll give you some actual code (I do this
sort of thing in my app, the code not the withholding of information :-) ).

Is there an official way to reset all fields on a qooxdoo 'form'?
I have a window for data entry, when the user clicks the 'Save' or 'Home'
button, the data entry window closes, and the Home window opens again.
If you navigate back to the data entry window, any data typed before is
still there.
Obviously the windows for this app are loaded from the start, and are only
closed when not needed. Rather than being totally destroyed and reloaded each
time.
Would using window.dispose() be a better option to get what I'm after?
And what does window.restore() do exactly?
I ask as I've tried the above method (dispose/restore) unsuccessfully.
If manually coding each feild and setting the value to blank when the
window closes is the only way then I'll do that, but I was hoping for something
more like document.getElementsByTagName or the like as there are over 30
fields, it'd be nice just to have a loop.
