I'm now trying to use the comment field of the autocomplete textbox for 
my id property (accessible via textbox.controller.getCommentAt(index)).

I could call this in an ontextentered-handler attached to the textbox. 
But I couldn't find a way to get the index of the selected element. The 
'param' passed into the handler (which actually has to be called 'param' 
to work) is of type 'KeyboardEvent'.

Any ideas on how to get the selected index?

thanks,
Michael
