I so rarely ever get pulled into dojo related work that I don’t know

  • 0

I so rarely ever get pulled into dojo related work that I don’t know it as well as I should (I mostly do perl work).

Anyway, the short question is that I have a dojo.form.ComboBox where some of the values need to have a small icon placed next to them (they are special variables) when you dropdown. I”m not sure in dojo.form.ComboBox if this is even possible.

Am I even using the right control? (For the record I am generating my pages with Template::Toolkit and my app is in dojo’s framework).

I need to keep the ComboBox functionality of being able to add values if they don’t already exist. Even if I can’t use an icon, some way of highlighting the line would be fine too or changing the color of the box if a certain value is selected would work.

Any clues would be appreciated.

    Consider using a dijit.form.DropDownButton. The link contains examples with code on how to add icons to the values.

    Notice that the DropDownButton uses dijit.MenuItem‘s as elements, as such your goal is to set the icons you want on these menu items. Dojo has several icon classes ready for use, but if you want to use your own custom icons, take a look at this.
