Expose the JSON DataSource bound to the AutoComplete On Change, Etc
Currently the Kendo AutoComplete only gives you the selected value, even though it received from the server a more detailed dataset.  The autocomplete really should be expanded to exposing the selected text and value, as well as expose the original data item that was selected; that way, the developer can access a lot more data from the control within the context of the change event.

Hello,

Inside the event the e.sender is the AutoComplete itself. From it you can obtain the datasource and access the view or the original data. Could you please elaborate more on the exact implementation scenario that should be achieved.

Regards,
