You should just replace the dropdownFactory with a modified ClassFactory for a list with properties { iconFunction: myFunction }

Unlike the List class, the ComboBox has no iconFunction property, and its default item renderer class, ListItemRender, has a *protected* icon property. I tried accessing the ComboBox's dropdown property directly, but that didn't work out well. Since it seems to use a different ListBase instance each time its displayed, the dropdown's labelFunction property has to be set in a DropdownEvent.OPEN handler, and this event is fired *after* the dropdown is visible, so you intially see the dropdown without icons and then the icons appear. It seems that to accomplish this, I'll have to, at minimum, subclass ListItemRenderer. But this seems a rather cumbersome solution for what I suppose is a common need. Is there an easier way to do this?
