Thanks for your suggestions, they got me onto the right track.
I solved the problem with an Navigation Listener on the DataSet and it works
just fine. However, this seems to me more like a work-around than anything else.

JdbNavComboBox 'implements' NavigationListener, therefore why not fire an
appropriate (e.g actionPerformed) event within the JdbNavComboBox Class.
I would be very interested in opinions, because I feel that there are many
jbcl/jdb components that could do with better event support. - But then again,
there might be reasons for the way these classes are implemented in the way they
are, and I might just be ignorant of those reasons.

Code Extract:
    .
    .
    .
jdbNavComboBox1.getDataSet().addNavigationListener(new
borland.jbcl.dataset.NavigationListener() {
      public void navigated(NavigationEvent e) {
        jdbNavComboBox1_navigated(e);
      }
    });

    .
    .
