Hi Martin,

Let me try to describe what I'm trying to achieve.  Here is the general form of 
the data behind the store:

{
    text1: ["a", "b", "c", "d"],
    text2: ["e", "f", "g", "h"]
}

In this case, the view would have two controls (label, textfield, etc...) to 
display the data.  The view also has a next and previous button to move through 
the records.  What I am trying to do it this, when the user clicks on next or 
previous, the controls should update to show the associated data.  For example, 
using the sample data would give the following:

a e
b f
c g
d h

when moving through the records.  It's as if the current record is a selection 
into the arrays.  The only thing I can think of would be to rebind all the 
elements every time a record changes but this seems wrong to me.

Thanks

Eric

Hello Eric,

the kind of controller depends on your custom view. Is it more like a list or 
more like a set of form elements? If its more like a list, the list controller 
could work. If its more like a set of froms the object controller in 
combination with a single value binding could do the job.
Perhaps you could give me some more information on the kind of data and the 
view? 

Best,
Martin

Hi,
 
I currently have an application which is used to present a custom view of 
database records.  The user can move either forward or backward, looking at one 
record at a time.  I also have a Json data store which I would like to use to 
bind the controls in the record viewer.  The data is stored as arrays in the 
store which I would like to bind to the controls so that the array elements 
would correspond to the different records.  However, I can't use a List 
controller since the target is not one of the three supported (SelectBox, List, 
ComboBox) and using an Object controller or directly using the bind method 
doesn't seem to allow me to select any element from an array (only the first or 
the last).  Is there any way that I can do what I want with the existing 
classes or do I have to dig into the List controller to understand what it does 
and then roll out my own?
 
Thanks
 
Eric
