getSelected

returns the currently selected ID

as_array

boolean

true, to force the return value to be an array

string|number

currently selected id

Example

var id = myList.getSelected();

• if the multiselection is enabled and multiple items are selected, this method will return an array of IDs;
• "as_array" parameter makes sense in multiselection mode, where a method may return a single value or an array based on selection state.

By using the "as_array" parameter you will always receive an array as the result of the method, which can simplify further processing.
