Get Listbox text in IE

[citrus3000psi]

Im new to autoit, and trying to do some basic scraping of data with IE. I have a dropdown box that can be dynamic and I need to read the value and the actual text of the selected item.

$oSelectCurrentModel = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "ctl00$InventorySearch2$ddlModel")
MsgBox(0, "Example", $oSelectCurrentModel.value)

The above code words fine for the value of the selected item. But I cannot for the life of me get the displayed text. Any ideas how?

$oSelectCurrentModel.text oops, wrong

Please note that the .value property of a selection element is a convenience and can actually cause you trouble for multi-select's

A SELECT element has a .options collection

$oSelectCurrentModel = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "ctl00$InventorySearch2$ddlModel")
$oOptions = $oSelectCurrentModel.options
For $oOption in $oOptions
    ConsoleWrite($oOption.value & "|" & $oOption.text & "|" & $oOption.selected & "|" $oOption.defaultSelected & @CRLF)
Next
