| extend( `Function subclass`, `Function superclass`, [`Object overrides`] ) : Function Extends one class with another class and optionally overrides members with the passed literal. This class also adds ... Extends one class with another class and optionally overrides members with the passed literal. This class also adds the function "override()" to the class that can be used to override members on an instance. This function also supports a 2-argument call in which the subclass's constructor is not passed as an argument. In this form, the parameters are as follows: `superclass` The class being extended `overrides` A literal with members which are copied into the subclass's prototype, and are therefore shared among all instances of the new class. This may contain a special member named `constructor`. This is used to define the constructor of the new class, and is returned. If this property is not specified, a constructor is generated and returned which just calls the superclass's constructor passing on its parameters. For example, to create a subclass of the Ext GridPanel:
    MyGridPanel = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, {
        constructor: function(config) {
            // Your preprocessing here

            MyGridPanel.superclass.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
            // Your postprocessing here

        },

        yourMethod: function() {
            // etc.

        }
    });
Parameters: `subclass` : Function The class inheriting the functionality `superclass` : Function The class being extended `overrides` : Object (optional) A literal with members which are copied into the subclass's prototype, and are therefore shared between all instances of the new class. Returns: `Function` The subclass constructor. | Ext

Shorthand of Ext.Element.fly Use this to make one-time references to DOM elements which are not going to be accessed again either by application code, or by Ext's classes.
