Description Tim Buschtoens CLA 2013-07-01 05:46:01 EDT 
The Text widget can be configured to display two icons to the left/right, cancel and search. Considering the many possible uses of more of these kind of icons (look in the URL bar of a modern browser), we should provide a convinient API to add more of those, perhaps as items. While a Text widget wrapped in a composite is a valid alternative, it is less convinient especially regarding focus handling.

These icons should support hover effects, selection events and clientscripting. It should also be possible to style them so they look like a button. Afterwards it should be easier to use the same client code for Text, Combo, Spinner and DateTime.
