dhtmlxcombo editable

In an editable combo box inside a form, how can I get the edited value even if it is not in the control options after submitting?

How can I set a value in the same control if it is not in the list?

You can use  next commands to get|set visible text
    combo.getComboText();
    combo.setComboText();


to get|set current combo value
    combo.getActualValue();
    combo.setComboValue();
