How to automate pitch in Logic 9

Trying to automate the pitch bend using logic but nothing seems to work. Tried it in touch mode and nothing happens when I move the pitch wheel manually. Is this a known issue? Anyone know of a workaround?

You can do this in the piano roll.br
on the bottom of the piano roll window in the left corner there should be an arrow pointing down.br
click this and a menu comes up with several options including pitch bend.br
hope this helps
