[Solved] obtaining selected text from combo

[william]

Hi all,
I have a populated combo and I have selected a value. Later in code, I need to obtain the selected textual value that the user sees as opposed to the id.

If I was using a standard select list I'd do something like:

var model = document.getElementById("Dropdown_Model");
 var modelVal = model.options[model.selectedIndex].text;

However, with the telerik combo it doesn't recognise options.
How do I get the text of a previously selected combo?

the answer is

 

 

$("#Dropdown_Model").data("tComboBox").text()
