ComboBox: separate highlight logic from queryExpr

[retrry]

Hello, I'm using dojo with django and tastypie. For tastypie filtering you need to set filtering method in url: name__icontains and so on. But in this case I don't need asteriks from queryExpr (I know that it is used inside for comboBox highlighting).

I set: queryExpr: '*${0}*'

What happens: GET ​http://localhost:8000/reminders/api/v1/client/?name__icontains=**

What is expected: GET ​http://localhost:8000/reminders/api/v1/client/?name__icontains=

Maybe we could have 2 different options? queryExpr and highlightExpr?

Apparently you are talking about ComboBox? You didn't list the module or even the package.

If you set queryExpr to *${0}* then it's only natural to expect two asterisks to be sent to the server. Why would you expect something different? I'm guessing what you really want is the last thing you typed, about having a separate highlightExpr, but I'm not sure, please clarify.

My communication skills fail me - sorry :)

The bug report should have been named: "Separate ComboBox highlight logic from queryExpr" or something in those terms. And that is exactly what I would like to have - separate highlightExpr setting.

OK, seems like you can just override doHighlight() to do what you want, but I suppose a highlightExpr flag would be a bit easier, if it's feasible.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 2+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
