How to call set or get a Controller's config property from a view?-Collection of common programming errors

I have a controller something like this:

Ext.define('DigitalPaper.controller.Documents', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',

views:  ['Documents'],
stores: ['Documents'],
models: ['Documents'],

config: {
  defaultColumnSet: undefined  
},....

I want to call the method getDefaultColumnSet or setDefaultColumnSet from the view. Is this possible?

I have tried with

     Ext.app.Controller.getController('Documents');

But it doesn’t work!

Any suggests?

1. It’s not a good idea to call controller methods from a view. It’s possible, but if you’re trying to use MVC paradigm – I would avoid doing it.

   What exactly are you trying to achieve?
