At the moment, ComboBoxCellEditor uses SWT List widget for the popup. This precludes users to use images in addition to text for combo box items. The desktop has a need for a combo box cell editor that can accept an image in front of the text item. Most of the current ComboBoxCellEditor can be preserved, but with usage of Tree or Table instead of List for the actual popup. Since this is not the most common case, I recommend ComboBoxCellEditor to be left as-is, and a new one (probably a subclass) to be added (something like ImageComboBoxCellEditor). This one would accept not only presentation text and value for an item, but also an optional presentation image. NOTES: EG (5/15/00 9:30:27 AM) We are using the SWT pop-up list, there is no SWT support for combo boxes as editor overlays. I agree with DG that no change is required for the beta. Moving to SWT. McQ (2/1/01 5:34:28 PM) - Could be implemented in a custom widget.
PRODUCT VERSION: 121
ComboBoxCellEditor uses CCombo, which is implemented using a List. If CCombo used Table instead, it could support icons. Changing title to reflect that this requires improvements to CCombo.
This is not likely to happen unless someone on the UI team indicates that this is an important enhancement.
I'd like to use icons in a CCombo too... Now using E 3.1.1.
See also bug 93809 (requests the same for Combo).
Our tooling has a requirement to use a drop down combo box, and we must have associated icons with the combo items (plus tooltips). Therefore this feature is important to us. Is it possible to prioritize this?
Nebula will get such a widget in the next week. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291432

I am trying to add images to combo items, But comboViewer is not supporting the images in getImage() method in LabelProvider.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
