retrieving list values in custom_instantiation file

incognita

I have a custom_instantiation file where i'm specifying some components like lists, and so on. I have a list named "listA" which is being populated from a datasource using an inline command.
I need to write a javascript fn to get the value of the selected value in the list.
I tried this:
IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/listA").getValue();
This gives me only the index of the item, ie, 0, 1 n so on.

IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/User1").getSelectedIndex().getValue();
this says that getSelectedIndex is not defined.

Could someone help me out with the syntax here.

IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/listA").getValue(); will return you the selected index if it is a single-select list or array of selected index if it is a multi-select list. You can use something like this in case of single-select list. Modify it accordingly for multi-select list.

 var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/User1"); 
var value = item.getOptions()[item.getValue()].value;
