    /**
     * @class Ext.DataView
     * @extends Ext.BoxComponent
     * A mechanism for displaying data using custom layout templates and formatting. DataView uses an {@link Ext.XTemplate}
     * as its internal templating mechanism, and is bound to an {@link Ext.data.Store}
     * so that as the data in the store changes the view is automatically updated to reflect the changes.  The view also
     * provides built-in behavior for many common events that can occur for its contained items including click, doubleclick,
     * mouseover, mouseout, etc. as well as a built-in selection model. <b>In order to use these features, an {@link #itemSelector}
     * config must be provided for the DataView to determine what nodes it will be working with.</b>
     *
     * <p>The example below binds a DataView to a {@link Ext.data.Store} and renders it into an {@link Ext.Panel}.</p>
