Last Updated : 22 Aug, 2021

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 getItems() method is used to get all items from jqxComboBox. It does not accept any parameter and returns an array of items.

The returned value is represented as an object with the following fields.

label
value
