Maya: Melscript statements , the moment an object is selected)

StephenVyas

I wonder if this is possible...

What I'd like to do is:
The moment I Left-click the mouse button down to select anything- an object, nurbscurve etc [Using dR_DoCmd("selectPress")]
I'd like to perform some if statements based on that objects' attributes, as soon as the leftmouse button is released.

Any ideas?
Edit: I think the solution might be found using "scriptJob" or system events...
edit#2 nevermind. got it!

global proc updateSelWind(){
if ( `isTrue SomethingSelected` ){
text -edit -label "Something is selected." selText;
// Enter any functions that you wish to occur when the object is selected.
} else {
text -edit -label "Nothing is selected." selText;
}
}
string $windowName = `window`;
columnLayout;
text selText;
updateSelWind;
showWindow $windowName;
scriptJob
-parent $windowName // attach the job to the window
-conditionChange "SomethingSelected" "updateSelWind";
