Event handler for array - arrays

Question

Have we event handler,event listener,action listener or any like these, for arrayin any compile-based language (e.g. Java,c++,c)?
I am searching a way to track the changes of an array. So when value of a cell changed the listener notify me about this change and the cell number that this changed occurred for it.
is there any language or any option for this problem?

Edit
If you do not want to use a custom type you can have a look at this implementation to observe when an array is changed : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/162966/Observing-Changes-to-an-Underlying-Array
Here is an example from Microsoft in C# that does what you are looking for with an ArrayList
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa645739(v=vs.71).aspx
// events1.cs
using System;
namespace MyCollections
{
using System.Collections;
// A delegate type for hooking up change notifications.
public delegate void ChangedEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);
// A class that works just like ArrayList, but sends event
// notifications whenever the list changes.
public class ListWithChangedEvent: ArrayList
{
// An event that clients can use to be notified whenever the
// elements of the list change.
public event ChangedEventHandler Changed;
// Invoke the Changed event; called whenever list changes
protected virtual void OnChanged(EventArgs e)
{
if (Changed != null)
Changed(this, e);
}
// Override some of the methods that can change the list;
// invoke event after each
public override int Add(object value)
{
int i = base.Add(value);
OnChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
return i;
}
public override void Clear()
{
base.Clear();
OnChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
}
public override object this[int index]
{
set
{
base[index] = value;
OnChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}
}
namespace TestEvents
{
using MyCollections;
class EventListener
{
private ListWithChangedEvent List;
public EventListener(ListWithChangedEvent list)
{
List = list;
// Add "ListChanged" to the Changed event on "List".
List.Changed += new ChangedEventHandler(ListChanged);
}
// This will be called whenever the list changes.
private void ListChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("This is called when the event fires.");
}
public void Detach()
{
// Detach the event and delete the list
List.Changed -= new ChangedEventHandler(ListChanged);
List = null;
}
}
class Test
{
// Test the ListWithChangedEvent class.
public static void Main()
{
// Create a new list.
ListWithChangedEvent list = new ListWithChangedEvent();
// Create a class that listens to the list's change event.
EventListener listener = new EventListener(list);
// Add and remove items from the list.
list.Add("item 1");
list.Clear();
listener.Detach();
}
}
}
