comparison for a dynamic valuelist

I have a dynamic valuelist that has four different fields formatted in a certain way and the data is driven by the getDataSetByQuery/setValueListItems methods. However, is there a way i can get the actual text being displayed in the valuelist in the code. so I can check to see if the string matches a certain pattern rather than looking at the value being returned to the db.

thanks

Not that I know of. I have made a feature request a while ago to have something like elements.myElement.getDisplayValue()…
