changing index or value in code doesn't fire the 'change' event

[Michael Lambert]

When I change either the index or value of the dropdownlist in code, I need the 'change' event to fire.

ie:

           ddlOfc = document.getElementById("ddlOfficers").ej2_instances[0]
           ddlOfc.value = firstOff;

This changes the selected value, but it doesn't fire the 'change' event.

Hello Michael, 

Thank you for contacting us. 

Try calling the dataBind method to affect the changes in the control model immediately. Kindly refer to the following code. 

ddlOfc = document.getElementById("ddlOfficers").ej2_instances[0]; 

ddlOfc.value = firstOff; 

ddlOfc.dataBind(); // Call the dataBind method 

Let us know if you need any further assistance on this 

Regards,
