Bind ID as Value with Text in Autocomplete

Question

I am using Kendo Autocomplete, In that I am filling the Text and also using that text parse data, But I want to use ID as Value to send it on server side on Form Submit.

I am using this Kendo Editor But Can't able to Bind the "CustomerID" as the Value of Autocomplete::

 @(Html.Kendo().AutoComplete()
                                  .Name("Customers")
                                  .DataTextField("CustomerShortName")
                                  .Value("CustomerID")
                                  .Filter("contains")
                                  .MinLength(3)
                                  .Template("<label>${ data.CustomerShortName }</label>")
                                  .HtmlAttributes(new {  disabled="disabled" })
                                  .DataSource(source =>
                                  {
                                      source.Read(read =>
                                      {
                                          read.Action("GetCustomers", "GetData");
                                      })
                                      .ServerFiltering(true);
                                  })
                            )   

Please Help me on this ASAP.

I have done this in another way, I have made a Hidden type for its ID value i.e. for "CustomerID" as

@Html.HiddenFor(x=>x.CustomerID)

and on change of kendo Autocomplete I have written some event as,

    @(Html.Kendo().AutoComplete()
                                      .Name("Customers")
                                      .DataTextField("CustomerShortName")
                                     .Events(events => events.Select("CustomerSelect"))
                                      .Filter("contains")
                                      .MinLength(3)
                                      .Template("<label>${ data.CustomerShortName }</label>")
                                      .HtmlAttributes(new {  disabled="disabled" })
                                      .DataSource(source =>
                                      {
                                          source.Read(read =>
                                          {
                                              read.Action("GetCustomers", "GetData");
                                          })
                                          .ServerFiltering(true);
                                      })
                                )    

And For that I am using Javascript Function as::

<script>
//Set CustomerID
    function CustomerSelect(e)
    {
        var DataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());
        $("#CustomerID").val(DataItem.CustomerID);
}
</script>

And that value I am using While Submitting the Form. Thanks for your help.
