Question

Is it possible to determine whether a Selector.SelectionChanged event was initiated by the user or programmatically?

I.e. I need something like a boolean "IsUserInitiated" property that is true only if the SelectionChanged event was raised because the user changed the selection using mouse or keyboard.

This should work in most scenarios:

private void cboStatus_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.cboStatus.IsDropDownOpen)
    {
        //OPTIONAL:
        //Causes the combobox selection changed to not be fired again if anything
        //in the function below changes the selection (as in my weird case)
        this.cboStatus.IsDropDownOpen = false;

        //now put the code you want to fire when a user selects an option here
    }
}
