dojox/mobile: some properties of subclasses of _ItemBase cannot be set before completion of startup

[Adrian Vasiliu]

For some of its properties, dojox/mobile/ListItem has a special mechanism to delay the actual execution of custom setters until the startup of the widget is completed. This holds for the following properties: checked, icon, rightIcon, rightIcon2, uncheckIcon, deleteIcon

The trouble is that, for a code which attempts to set values to these properties before the startup completion, the final values of the properties are not the expected ones.

This hurts dojox/mvc, where the binding mechanism involves calls of the setters before widget startup completion.

The same holds for the "icon" property of IconItem, IconMenuItem, TabBarButton, and ToolBarButton.

How to reproduce:

a) Run dojox/mvc/tests/WidgetList_tests/test_mobile-list-single-sel-mvc.html

If the bug is present, the first item in the list does not show the "checked" mark.

or

b) Run the attached ItemBase_subclasses_Programmatic.html

This is a DOH tests which mimics what happens in the dojox/mvc context without using dojox/mvc. If the bug is present, the test fails.

[Adrian Vasiliu]

Fix incorrect values of properties when they are set before startup completion. Includes a new DOH test for dojox/mobile and the removal of a workaround from a dojox/mvc test. - Adrian Vasiliu, IBM, CCLA

This may be a temporary solution - at a later stage we may revisit the design of setters/getters.
