Let's say I am trying to force a DataGrid or any component to dispatch a change event to trigger some listeners. When I do this in code the event is never trigger. I remember reading about this and some methods you can pass in an argument to dispatch the event. I realize its a benefit to not dispatch an event in most situations but I have one that I would like to dispatch an event. Unfortunately I do not see a default way to dispatch an events on UIComponents.
// for example how would i trigger an event when selecting the first item in a grid myGrid.selectedIndex = 0;
