Hi Annasaheb,

To get reference to original dataSource, application may use options.dataSource member, which is set on initialization of igCombo. If dataSource is string (like netflex oData), or if application uses dataSourceUrl, then the best I can suggest, is to use internal member variable _dataSource. That member contains reference to instance of internal $.ig.DataSource object.

Below is example:

  $("#combo1").igCombo({
   textKey: 'a',
   valueKey: 'id',
   selectedItems: [{index: 0}],
   dataSource: [ {a: 'one', id: 1, val: 123 }, {a: 'two', id: 3, val: 345 }, {a: 'three', id: 3, val: 678 }],
   selectionChanged: function (evt, ui) {
    var item, index, str = 'no selection',
     ds = ui.owner.options.dataSource,
     _ds = ui.owner._dataSource,
     selItems = ui.items,
     selItem = selItems ? selItems[0] : null,
     index = selItem ? selItem.index : -1;
    if (index >= 0) {
     item = ds ? ds[index] : null;
     if (!item) {
      item = _ds.dataView()[index];
     }
     str = 'index: ' + index + ', a: ' + item.a + ', val: ' + item.val;
    }
    alert(str);
   }
  });
