RadEditor Drop Down text

[Chris]

Hi,

I'm using a dropdown inside the RadEditor tool strip.  I see from the examples how to get the value of the dropdown and how to get the name of the command, but how do i get the text of the drop down in this example?

Thanks!

        function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args) {
            var name = args.get_name(); //The command name
            var val = args.get_value(); //The drop down value

Here's an example of what I mean;

        <telerik:EditorToolGroup>
            <telerik:EditorDropDown Name="Test" Width="150px" Text="Insert Test" ItemsPerRow="1" PopupWidth="170px" PopupHeight="117px">
                <telerik:EditorDropDownItem Name="Text 1" value="T1"/>

I want to get "Text 1" but the only thing I can figure out to get is T1.

Hello Chris,

Try the following approach in order to get the selecteditem text in the OnClientCommandExecuting handler.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientCommandExecuting(sender, args) {
        var text = args.get_tool().get_items()[args.get_tool().get_selectedIndex()][1];
        alert(text);
    }
</script>

It'd be great if that was simpler or more intuitive in the future, but thanks that worked great for me!
