use combox with dynamiccontent

I have a dynamic content on xPage. I would like to use the onChange event from a combox to fire the "Change Dynamic Content" action.

But I failed to find a way to get the selected value of that combox control at onChange event (server side).

I tried getComponent("combox1").getValue() that returns the old value now the newly selected value. I also tried to use .getSubmittedValue() that simply returns null.

Is this possible? Also the event handler of combox is set to submit=true and partial update=true with a refreshId which is the panel id which contains the dynamic content.

Looking forward to any suggestions or help

Many thanks in adv

Re: use combox with dynamiccontent

it should work with getsubmittedvalue and immediate = true, like

value = getComponent("comboBox1").getSubmittedValue();

and for the eventhandler

<xp:eventHandler event="onchange" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" immediate="true" refreshId="dialogdiv" id="eventHandler4">

Many thanks Walter!

with the immediate set to true the .getSubmittedValue() returned the selected value as expected!
