Are you trying to set the refillrate according to the value in the widget? If so, I would suggest you a different approach, yet easier.

Create an Option Parameter using the Table, set the name and options with its value:

Then create a Parameter Table Dashboard. That way you will have the widget set up and link to the values in the Parameter Table. You don't have to change anything.

In your custom code you could use:

double valor1 = Model.parameters.TMKN;
Model.find("TMKN>variables/refillrate").value = valor1;

So anytime you change the option in the widget, the TMKN's refillrate will change to the value choose:

I agree @Sebastián Cañas's answer is simpler for your problem. Another option, if you want to keep the combobox, is to use these functions to get the selected value:

double valor1 = combocurrentnode(getdashboardcontrol("TMKN_V")).value;
Model.find("TMKN>variables/refillrate").value = valor1;

getdashboardcontrol() will get the combobox and combocurrentnode() will return the currently selected option. Use .value to get the double value you want for valor1.
