selectedObject

values to access the values assigned to the component.
selectedLabel to access the label corresponding to the value.
selectedObjects to access the currently selected values in multivalued components.
Access Component Data for more information about selectedObject.
Access the Most Recent User Modification to retrieve the most recent modified object.

Specifies the selected value of the component (not the label). Applies to single-value input elements (Slider, Spinner, Radio Button, Combo Box) and the tabs of co-located components (Tabbed Interface).

To avoid overwriting an existing setting (saved by the designer, or saved by the user in a bookmark), test to see if the component value has already been set before using selectedObject. See selectedObjects for an example of such a test.

Type

Value of the selected option

Examples

// Set a RadioButton with data type  ‘String’:
RadioButton1.selectedObject = 'NJ';

// Set a ComboBox with data type  ‘Date’:
ComboBox1.selectedObject = new Date(2020,5,23);

Either syntax below can be used in component script:

selectedObject               // unqualified
Component1.selectedObject    // qualified

For onInit/onRefresh scripts, and for component and property scripts on other components, the second (qualified) form is required.
