Is it possible to retrieve the current or selected value in a combo box or list box.

I know you can retrieve the export value using 'this.getField("FIELDNAME").value;', but I need the display value which is different. Is ther a different param or property for 'getField'?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should look at using the 'currentValueIndices' property of the field object to get the index number for the selected item/items and the 'getItemAt()' method of the field object to get the item name when the optional 'bExportValue' option is true.
