I believe he is looking for a "trigger" to run processing as the
"highlight" hits the row - no matter if using Up,Down,PgUp,PgDown -
whatever row the bar lands on, a process is triggered without the need
for user to press a key other than those normally used to "move" up/down
the browse.
Hence, the array technique would be very good solution since you run
code to move the bar itself. Hell, you can run code while you wait for
a keystroke.
