How to update an EditorFor that uses a kendo NumericTextBoxFor control.

Easy to get a value using .val(), but to set the value you have to call the change event of the control and navigate away from it in order to save the changes to the model!

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.PVR, "Number")

Here's the editorTemplate named "Number":

@model double?
@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@(Html.Kendo().NumericTextBoxFor(m => m)
.Decimals(3)
.Format("0.000")
      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%" })
)


here's the jscript code to update the value:

var kendo = $("#PVR").data("kendoNumericTextBox");
            kendo.value(output);
            kendo.trigger("change");
            var target = $("#Wedge").data("kendoNumericTextBox");
            target.siblings("input:visible").focus();
