Kendo dropdownlist doesn't bind the selected value when done through javascript

Question

js fiddle here - http://jsfiddle.net/9xj8huj9/1/

$("#Instrument").data("kendoDropDownList").bind('change',function (dataItem) {
        alert("Data Binded");
    });

Somehow, when the value of the dropdownlist is set dynamically when the button is clicked, data isn't binded.

Any idea how to bind the data here?

You need to trigger the change event
