How do I refer to a selected item in the python add-in combobox ?

As Arek has mentioned in this previous thread it is possible to refer to an addin object like a combobox in a python script.

Now, how can I refer to a selected item in the combobox? For example, if I want to code:

if combox has a selected value of "SP":
do something

How do I refer to the selected item in the combobox? Thank you

Are you reading the documentation? It clearly says to use combobox.value.

Thanks Jason. I was not sure I had to use some kind of selection property as it is common in combo boxes in other programming languages. Cheers
