Feature request for LAM combobox

As you are working on the LAM changes: I have a feature request for the combobox control (if possible):
Could you add a parameter like "ShownContextEntries".

Explanation:
Currently the combobox always opens the context menu and shows all of the entries inside.
If these entries are > 20 some screen resolutions won't fit the whole combobox context menu to the screen and the top part of the contetx menu is finally missing.

Idea:
If you open the context menu of the combobox only "ShownContextEntries" will be shown at one page.
All other entries will be accessible by a scrollbar anchored at the right side to the shown entries.
If you scroll the entries only "ShownContextEntries" will always be visible in that context menu.

I think I remember Wykyyd's Chat Enhancement addon uses such a combobox for his "emotes list".

This would be really great as we could add many entries to the comboxboxes and ppl are able to select all of them properly, regardless what screen resolutiont hey are using.

Maybe > 20 entries are too much. But I like to provide a lot of possibilities (icons e.g.) that the users can choose from.
