jqxDropDownList events API docs

[carpiiParticipant]

1) Please could you explain the difference between the ‘select’ and ‘change’ events, on jqxDropDownList?
The API docs appear to contain exactly the same description, its not clear which event I should handle.

2) Should the change or select event fire, if I programatically update the listboxes value or selectedIndex?

$("#list").jqxDropDownList.val(x);
$("#list").jqxDropDownList({selectedIndex: 2 });

3) Is there any difference at all between calling

$("#list").jqxDropDownList('selectIndex', 2 );
vs
$("#list").jqxDropDownList({selectedIndex: 2 });

Thanks

Hello carpii,

When changing the value of the DropDownList it is fire the both events, but if you use arrows (up/down) and highlight different items this will fire ‘select’ event.
The easiest way to understand the difference between them is to use in the one example both.
