Javascript refer to the component itself

Hello forum,

Probably something stupid, but I can't find the information I'm looking for...

I'm writing some javascript code in a combobox component

From my javascript code how can I get the current component value without using getComponent("combobox").getValue() ?

Is there something like me.getValue() ?

Thx in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Re: Javascript refer to the component itself

In an event, the keyword "this" refers to the event itself. The "this" object has a getParent() method. So if you use this.getParent(), you should have access to the checkbox control.
