Upon select, modify the selected value

[Dave]

Hello. When the user selects a value in the Kendo AutoComplete textbox, I want to run a function to modify the selected value (for example, remove unwanted characters) and have that be returned to the textbox.

For example, I would call the below function upon Select:

function editText(e) {

    var text = this.dataItem(e.item.index());

    text = text.replace(myRegexPattern, '');

    (?????) = text;

};

Is there a property I can set, or an easy way to update/modify the selected text in this way? Thanks!

Hello Dave,

 
You can wire the change event and use the value method to set the modified value. Let me know if other questions arise.

Thank you. I will give this a try!
