Sorted!
Well just in case anyone else wants to do this ......
Instead of using Ext.get(layer.name).setIconCls('loading'); in my loadstart
event, I used
controlPanels.tree.getNodeById(layer.name).setIconCls('loading');
You just have to check that the tree node has been opened before using it.
Thanks Andreas you got me on the right track!
Cheers,
Brad....

Andreas,
Still not quite there mate!
I noticed that Ext 3.2.1 did not support setIconCls so had to load Ext
3.3.1. I have been able to get the setIconCls to work. But I am a little
confused as to what goes where.
This is my listener that is on the tree - it passes the tree node object
thru to the listener.
"checkchange": function(node){setTheForecastLayers(node)
Within this listener I can change the icon class simply by doing
node.setIconClass('loading'). That proved that if I have the node object I
can change its image class. Obviously that is not what I want - that was
just a test.
When I load the layer I register the loading events with the following where
layer is the layer object created in OL.
// ----- layer loading events ----- //
function registerEvents(layer)
{
if(layer.name != '' && layer.name != null && !layer.isBaseLayer)
{
layer.events.register("loadstart", layer, function()
{
if (layersLoading == 0)
{
eventsLog.style.display='block';
}
layersLoading++;
});
layer.events.register("loadend", layer, function()
{
layersLoading--;
if (layersLoading == 0)
{
eventsLog.style.display='none';
}
});
}
}
The problem I have is how to change the iconCls of the node. I thought that
if I made the id of the node the same as the layer.name of the layer that I
could do the following inside these events instead of the changing the
display of the all layers loading icon 'eventsLog'.
Ext.get(layer.name).setIconCls('loading');
However, the error I get is that Ext.get(layer.name) is null yet I know that
the node has the correct id as I can alert that in the checkbox listener.
So I must be doing something wrong here? Any ideas?
Cheers, Brad....

Hi,
the Ext.tree.TreeNode has a setIconCls method. This should get you there.
