Calling onchange handler when dropdown is created

[Dmitry]

Hello,
When dropdownlist is just created, you may set initial value to it. I want to handle "change" event from different control. Is there a way to fire change event when dropdownlist initial value is set?
Thanks.

Hi Dmitry,

 
One possible option is to trigger change manually when the combobox is initialized:

$("#combo").data("kendoComboBox").trigger("change");

If you need to raise the change on blur, then you will need to clear the _old property:

$("#combo").data("kendoComboBox")._old = undefined;

Kind regards,
