How to get RadSeachbox.SearchContext object

[steve]

I'm struggling with trying to get to the SearchContext item for a radsearchbox via the client side.  below I have what I'm trying to get to, but to no avail. If some guidance could be provided I would greatly appreciate it.

 

 

function onCheckboxChanging(sender, args) {
    var chkbxlId = sender.get_id();
    var srchbxId = chkbxlId.replaceAll("radchkbox_Item", "radsearch_Item");

    var objSearchBox = $find(srchbxId);
    var objSearchContext = objSearchBox.get_searchContext();

    alert( 'SearchBox Context Item Value = ' + objSearchContext.value);


}

Hi Steve,

The searchContext object does not expose a value property, doe to the fact it supports multiple items. If you want to get reference tot he currently selected item you can use the get_selectedMethod() of the search context:

You can also find useful information in the following resources:
