Sharepoint List event

Question

Is there a event which is raised when current view of a SharePoint list is changed. For example the current view displays all items in the list and now the user selects a different view say Added by Me, so is there any event raised in such a condition.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

What i want to achieve is something like this. I want to create a view such that the list is filtered according to the current user information. This information is coming from an external database. So what i was thinking is if there is any view change event then i could write a listener for it, check which view is selected , if it is the said view then fetch current user and his information from external DB and filter the list values. I am a newbie in SharePoint so don't know if such a thing can be done or not. Is there any other way by which this can be achieved? — shilpa

As far as I know there is no such event. The list events ListUpdating, ListUpdated etc. fire when you write changes to the list to the content db.

The following webpage shows you how to create a custom view that filters the information based on the current user:

Creating a view with a custom CAML query filter might solve the problem.
