yes, that is what is happening. My problem is that there is no way to tell if the user is actual selecting an item, or if an item is being updated by code. I've dug into the ActionEvent class and there is nothing to tell them apart.

The action command that is fired is "comboboxchanged". This is what is returned both when the combobox items are updated, and also when the user selects an item from the combobox. No way to tell them apart at all.
