Hi Naomi

there is no such event with the interface you have. Electroencephalography might be helpfull? (^.^)

I usually (re)start a timer on the selects. The timer will stop itself and do whatever action I need.

reasons:
-I hate timers
-the user does not expect an extra click on something. Otherwise I suggest an extra form for selecting.
-the user will allow a small delay for "processing"
-the delay gives the user a chance to loose its focus (eye contact?) from the item selcted, focus the form. Now he sees the change happen. This seems to be more intiutive then an immediate change.

I use this even on grids where skipping through the records will do difficult and long processings. Just like M$ Windows explorer will do if you run through the tree.
