Forms 4.0 - LOV question

I have a Form that uses an LOV. When the user uses the mouse to activate the item that has the LOV attached, the list appears. I use a trigger (POST_TEXT_ITEM) to get the data the user selected from the LOV into a procedure where I can evaluate it and pass it to system process running on our computer via Pipes. This works fine as long as the user selects from the list and hits OK with the mose.

When CANCEL is pressed on the LOV display, no selection is returned and the (POST_TEXT_ITEM) trigger does not get activated.

Is there a way to tell if CANCEL was pressed ?

thanks
