Icon Combo

Icon Combo is a combo box with icons appearing adjacent to each list values.

The icons of the list values appear from CSS based configuration.

This combo is suitable only when the list values are definite as it needs the CSS based configuration for icon display.

The icons will appear adjacent to each list values only when there are icon images available for all the list values in the default image folder with proper CSS configuration.

Form Items > Data Selection > Icon Combo.

You can perform any of the following steps to add values to the Icon Combo:
- Adding values in the form designer

Click the SETTINGS icon in the Icon Combo box. In the pop-up text box, type the values in the following format:
1 (rawkey) : 1 (rawvalue) (for example, 1 : Red)
You can specify multiple values by using comma to separate the values (for example, 1 : Red, 2 : Blue, 3 : Green).

Only raw values get displayed in the box. The raw keys do not get displayed.
To indicate no selection for the field, click Include Select Indicator in the SETTINGS pop-up for the Select option to appear at the beginning of the combo list. If you need to change the default select label, refer Changing the Default Select Label in the Drop-Down Fields.
Click Include All Indicator in the SETTINGS pop-up for the All option to appear at the beginning of the combo list.
To enable the data to be cached for the Icon Combo, click Cache Data Indicator in the SETTINGS pop-up.

Or

Adding values through data-support class of the form

Icon Combo allows adding two types of values through data-support class of the Form.

Pre-Defined data values (See Adding Pre-Defined Data Values)
Dynamic data values (See Adding Dynamic Data Values )

There might be situation where only single value is populated in the drop-down, in which case it makes sense to have the single value selected automatically instead of prompting users to select it. To achieve this, refer Automatic selection of value when drop-down contains single value.

After creating the class, add the class path of the data support class in Form Designer > Form tab > Data Support Class.

To enable the data to be cached for the Icon Combo, click Cache Data Indicator in the SETTINGS pop-up of the Icon Combo item.

After configuring the list of values using the data support class, place the icon images for each list values at your default image folder and create a CSS class in the custom.css as shown:

.comboIcon-PARENT_ID-ITEM_ID-LIST_VALUE
	{
		background:url('URL of the Image')no-repeattransparent!important;
		background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
		background-attachment: scroll!important;
		background-clip: border-box!important;
		background-origin: padding-box!important;
		background-position: 2pxcenter!important;
		background-repeat: no-repeat!important;
		background-size: autoauto!important;
		padding-left: 45px!important;
	}

Assuming green and red are the list values, the CSS class that you need to add must be as shown:

.comboIcon-UPDATE_PREFERENCE-THEME-green
	{
		background:url('../images/color-panel_green.png')no-repeattransparent !important;
		background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
		background-attachment: scroll!important;
		background-clip: border-box!important;
		background-origin: padding-box!important;
		background-position: 2pxcenter!important;
		background-repeat: no-repeat!important;
		background-size: autoauto!important;
		padding-left: 45px!important;
	} 

.comboIcon-UPDATE_PREFERENCE-THEME-red
	{
		background:url('../images/color-panel_red.png')no-repeattransparent !important;
		background-color: #FFFFFF!important;
		background-attachment: scroll!important;
		background-clip: border-box!important;
		background-origin: padding-box!important;
		background-position: 2pxcenter!important;
		background-repeat: no-repeat!important;
		background-size: auto!important;
		padding-left: 45px!important;
	}
