It is possible to get Face value from a combobox widget?

[australgisinc]

I am trying to extract a chosen value from a combobox widget using the following code:

#Extract data from combobox
import fitz
fileIN_Master = "Mypdf.pdf"
with fitz.open(fileIN_Master) as doc:
for page in doc:
widgets = page.widgets()
for widget in widgets:
if widget.field_type_string in ('ComboBox'):
print('field_name:', widget.field_name, 'field_value:', widget.field_value)

All I can get is field name and export value. I was wondering if it is possible to get the face value as well.

You can access all the choice values, find the field value in that list and the face value from there.

Thanks for your quick answer, but I don't understand. May you please, be more specific? What list are you talking about? Thanks!

Ok, sorry. Please look at this example. We are looking at a combo and would like to see both values based on the selected (field) value:

In [1]: import fitz
In [2]: doc = fitz.open("widgettest-adobe.pdf")
In [3]: page = doc[0]
In [4]: w = page.load_widget(32)  # please ignore: we happen to know th xref in this case
In [5]: w.field_value  # a combo box, let's look at its selected value
Out[5]: 'England'
In [6]: [item for item in w.choice_values if w.field_value in item]  # see the complete item
Out[6]: [('England', 'GB')]

You are aware presumably, that a combo box item may consist of 1 or 2 items.

In [8]: w.choice_values
Out[8]:
[('Spanien', 'ES'),
 ('Frankreich', 'F'),
 ('Holland', 'NL'),
 ('Dänemark', 'DK'),
 ('Schweden', 'S'),
 ('Norwegen', 'N'),
 ('England', 'GB'),
 ('Polen', 'P'),
 'Italien',
 'Portugal',
 'Griechenland']

YES! that's a fantastic idea. It didn't come to my mind using widget.choice_values in that way.
Thank you very much!
