divide ExtJS form between two windows - extjs

Question

I need to make an app that shows a form in a window on one screen and the main window with part of the same form - or is this is'n possible another form - on the other screen. Is this possible with ExtJs ? How ? Has anyone seen an example or perhaps an extension that does such ?

You can use a 'card' layout inside your form.
In the following example, the user sees three different pages, the first two pages have fields and the last one a button.
Clicking on the button retrieves the values from the fields. It doesn't matter that the fields are in different containers, as long as these containers are 'descendants' of the form.
Ext.application({
name : 'MyApp',
launch : function() {
Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
layout:'card',
activeItem: 0,
bbar: [{
text: '« Previous',
handler: function(button) {
var cardlayout = button.up('form').getLayout();
var prev = cardlayout.getPrev();
if (prev) {
cardlayout.setActiveItem(prev);
}
}
},{
text: 'Next »',
handler: function(button) {
var cardlayout = button.up('form').getLayout();
var next = cardlayout.getNext();
if (next) {
cardlayout.setActiveItem(next);
}
}
}],
items: [{
xtype: 'container',
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'First name',
name: 'firstName'
}]
},{
xtype: 'container',
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Last name',
name: 'lastName'
}]
},{
xtype: 'container',
items: [{
xtype: 'button',
text: 'Submit',
handler: function(button) {
var formValues = button.up('form').getValues();
alert('Name: ' + formValues.firstName
+ ' ' + formValues.lastName);
}
}]
}]
});
}
});
