getting the selected item

[Michele]

Hello,
I've started playing with kendo and I got a problem with getting the data on the eventchanged... my code is

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <input id="comboBox" />
   
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#comboBox").kendoComboBox({
                dataTextField: "text",
                dataValueField: "value",
                dataSource: [
                    { text: "Item1", value: "1" },
                    { text: "Item2", value: "2" }
                ],
                change: function (e) {
                    var combobox = $("#comboBox").data("kendoComboBox");
                      var selectedIndex = combobox.select();
                    alert(combobox.select().text);
                }
            });
        });

    </script>
</asp:Content>

How do I get the object I've selected? for now it's as imple text/value what if it's an object of type

text, value, additionalinfo?

Thanks

Hi Paolo,


You could use the dataItem method of the ComboBox to get the model for the selected item. As a side note, the context of the event handler is the ComboBox and it is accessible via this.
E.g.

function change(e) {
    var text = this.text();
    var value = this.value();
    var object = this.dataItem(this.select());
}

I hope that this information was helpful for you. I wish you a great day!
