Hi Jan. I don't think there are "deselection" events. I think each new 
selection event just replaces the last selection with the current one. 
So whatever you're doing with the selection (e.g., copy / paste, 
drag/drop, etc.) just uses whatever is in the current selection.

Is there a specific scenario you are trying to accomplish? BTW, a great 
way to get a handle on the available events is to run the SWT Controls 
example. It shows all of the events and you play with the app to see 
exactly what action triggers what event. Hope this helps. Mark
