keep the Ids of selected results of Kendo UI Autocomplete in a hidden input - kendo-ui

Question

I wrote this code to use kendo UI autocomplete. I need to show the title of the selected result in the textbox and keep the if in some hidden input, how can I get the id. it seems the select doesn't work.
$("[data-autocomplete]").each(function () {
var luurl = $(this).attr('data-lookupurl');
var thisElemt = $(this);
$(this).kendoAutoComplete({
minLength: 3,
separator: ", ",
dataTextField: "title",
select: function (e) {
var selectedOne = this.dataItem(e.item.Index());
console.log(kendo.stringify(selectedOne));
},
dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({
serverFiltering: true,
serverPaging: true,
pageSize: 20,
transport: {
read: luurl,
dataType: "json",
parameterMap: function (data) {
return { title: thisElemt.val() };
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "id",
fields: {
id: { type: "id" },
title: { type: "string" }
}
}
}
}
})
});
});

Answer 1

There is a typo error, you should use: e.item.index() instead of e.item.Index() (index is lowercase).
So the select function would be:
select : function (e) {
var selectedOne = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
console.log(kendo.stringify(selectedOne));
},

Answer 2

and easier way is :
var autocomplete = $("#autoCompleteId").data("kendoAutoComplete");
console.log(autocomplete.listView._dataItems[0]);
you can access to select data item in autocomplete.listView._dataItems[0] object

Answer 3

you can use script
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#categories").change(function () {
var url = '#Url.Content("~/")' + "Limitations/ThanaByDistrict_SelectedState";
var ddlsource = "#categories";
var ddltarget = "#target";
$.getJSON(url, { Sel_StateName: $(ddlsource).val() }, function (data) {
$(ddltarget).empty();
$(ddltarget).val(data);
});
});
});
</script>
in controller like
// Get selected combox value
public JsonResult ThanaByDistrict_SelectedState ( Guid Sel_StateName )
{
JsonResult result = new JsonResult ( );
objects temp=db . objects . Single ( m => m . ob_guid == Sel_StateName );
result . Data = temp.ob_code;
result . JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior . AllowGet;
return result;
}
