Well, to put it as simply as I can, I created a
JList of names(as in address book). When I click on
a name in the JList, it won't always create an event
even though it does cause that name to be highlighted.

Now, to be more specific, I've build a POS system using
JList's and JTables's. Touching the screen will  always highlight
the field, and a  beeping sound will occure(every time), but
it will not always trigger an event(as in below "Say Something").
