ComboBox: support iconAttr

[burnsmicro]

When the searchAttr is not at all descriptive it would be very desirable to show a description or image beside each searchAttr value in the drop-list.

For example, when we use a FilteringSelect? to select the 'proId' value from the following data set:

var prodData={
	identifier:"prodId",
	label:"description",
	items:[
		{prodId:"000101", description:"oranges"},
		{prodId:"000102", description:"apples"},
		{prodId:"000103", description:"bananas"}
	]
};

..it would be helpful to display a drop list that looks like:

Sorry, cannot figure out how to upload images, but, using text, the drop-list would look like:

000101  apples
000102  oranges
000103  bananas

instead of

000101
000102
000103

This brings up the issue of how to qualify the labelAttr? A couple of thoughts:

1.  labelAttr: "prodId  " + "description",

or

2.  labelAttr: "description",
    labelQual: "R"    // place labels Right of searchAttr values
                      // no labelQual = no searchAttr value displayed

Thanks,

You can upload images using the "Attach file" button, after the ticket has been created.

The functionality you are asking for can already be achieved by specifying a custom labelFunc method, as documented in ​the manual.

The only thing I can think of that dijit might support above and beyond that is an iconAttr, similar to DropDownButton etc.
