Extjs5 Textarea Resizing - resize

Question

I have the following form defined:
Ext.define('Admin.view.messaging.MsgDataForm',{
extend: 'Ext.window.Window',
xtype: 'msgdataform',
title: 'Compose Practice Message',
defaultFocus: '[name=subject]',
modal: true,
layout: 'fit',
closable: false,
width: 700,
items: [{
xtype: 'form',
layout: 'anchor',
fieldDefaults: {labelWidth: 60,labelAlign: 'right',anchor: '100%'},
padding: 10,
items: [{
xtype: 'fieldcontainer',
layout: 'hbox',
fieldLabel: 'Date',
items: [{
xtype: 'datefield',
name: 'msgdate',
format: 'F j, Y g:i A',
readOnly: true,
flex: 1,
margin: '0 5 0 0'
},{
xtype: 'combo',
name: 'priority',
fieldLabel: 'Priority',
store: Ext.create('Ext.data.Store',{
fields: ['priorityval','priority'],
data: [{'priorityval':0,'priority':'Low'},{'priorityval':1,'priority':'Normal'},{'priorityval':2,'priority':'High'}]
}),
queryMode: 'local',
displayField: 'priority',
valueField: 'priorityval',
width: 160
}]
},{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'subject',
fieldLabel: 'Subject'
},{
xtype: 'textarea',
id: 'editor1',
name: 'message',
style: {background: '#E1E1E1'}
}]
}],
buttons:[{
text: 'Send',
handler: 'onClick_btnMsgDataSend'
},{
text: 'Cancel',
handler: 'onClick_btnMsdDataCancel'
}]
});
The height of the textarea is not properly sized when the window is rendered. Additionally, when the window is resized, only the width of the textarea is resized - not the height. Attempting to listen to the resize event on the text area after the window is resized but it isn't fired. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

You width is properly resized because of the default configuration of 'anchor:100%'.
On the other hand, the height it's a little bit more difficult, the idea that comes to me now is try to with a particular css (using property cls) manipulate the height (height:'100%') or something like that. Because you can't use flex in a textarea, you could also nest de textarea in a panel and use flex on it to try it.
