jQuery AutoComplete Trigger Change Event

Question

How do you trigger jQuery UI\'s AutoComplete change event handler programmatically?

Hookup

$(\"#CompanyList\").autocomplete({ 
    s

This post is pretty old, but for thoses who got here in 2016. None of the example here worked for me. Using keyup instead of autocompletechange did the job. Using jquery-ui 10.4

$("#CompanyList").on("keyup", function (event, ui) {
    console.log($(this).val());
});

Hope this help!
