SAPUI5 Function Import question

[smith_john]

Hi, I'm new to UI5 so please would someone help me out.

I have created an App which has some data displayed on the screen and a button on the footer toolbar, when this button is pressed I want to call a function import to execute some logic in the backend and return a message (I have the backend stuff taken care of)

In my App I have some data displayed on the screen from my model in the backend, I want to get the key for entry shown on the screen (the key for the record shown is a GUID which is not displayed to the user for obvious reasons) ... how do I get the key for the selected value in the select box so that I can pass it to my function import?

thanks

You can use the function getSelectedKey

usually you will bind the selectedkey to the model, so you can get it easily from model.
