I'm using Ext4...

How to check whether one class is inherited of another class?

for example:

Ext.define("A", {});
Ext.define("B", { extend: "A" });
Ext.define("C", { extend: "B" });

var a = Ext.create("A");
var c = Ext.create("C");

I need something like this: c instanceof a

???

Thanks

• 1 Just curious, but did you try with c instanceof a? That would work in Javascript. – troelskn Commented Aug 17, 2011 at 17:44

c instanceof A

returns true.

You can use isXtype method. See docs here: Ext.AbstractComponent
