I dont know for sure, but a quick check of: M-x apropos 'buffer.*hook'
revealed nothing.

Maybe you could try to advise the set-buffer or switch-to-buffer
functions. See the section "Advising Functions" in the Elisp (info)
manual.

I have consult the elisp info and find this IS exactly what I need now.
Thank you again for the useful information.

List of hook variables:

How did I get these?
C-h v TAB gives me list of all variables. Then I filtered words with word 'hook' in them.
See if you find one you need.

What's wrong with "M-x apropos-variable RET"?

Nothing. I simply did not know about it. Thanks for the info.

I suspect that you don't really understand what is "a buffer
switch" seen from elisp's point of view (i.e. that you have your own idea
of what is a "buffer switch" but that Emacs would have to read your mind
in order to know when those things happen and when they don't).

So could you explain exactly what you want to do?
