How do you trigger jQuery UI's AutoComplete change event handler programmatically?
Hookup
$("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
source: context.companies,
change: handleCompanyChanged
});
Misc Attempts Thus Far
$("#CompanyList").change();
$("#CompanyList").trigger("change");
$("#CompanyList").triggerHandler("change");
Based on other answers it should work:

jQuery Autocomplete and on change Problem
The change event fires as expected when I manually interact with the AutoComplete input via browser; however I would like to programmatically trigger the change event in some cases.
What am I missing?
Here you go. It's a little messy but it works.
$(function () {
var companyList = $("#CompanyList").autocomplete({
change: function() {
alert('changed');
}
});
companyList.autocomplete('option','change').call(companyList);
});
