jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxComboBox is used to represent a jQuery Combobox widget that contains an input field with autocomplete functionality and a list of selectable items displayed in a drop-down.
The getItem() method is used to get the item by index. It accepts a single parameter index of Number type and it returns the object element.
The returned value is an object with the following fields:
- label
- value
- disabled
- checked
- hasThreeStates
- html
- index
- group
Syntax:
$('selector').jqxComboBox('getItem', index );
