How to bypass an event

Question

Hi

I have a combobox which the SelectionChanged event is implemented
For some reasons i don't want to raised this event how can i proceed ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Private Sub Comboyears_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles Comboyears.SelectionChanged
        ' do something
      end sub

When i write Comboyears.Items.Clear() then the event Comboyears_SelectionChanged is raised but in fact i don't want
One solution is to use a boolean flag
like

 Comboyears.Items.Clear
        flagclear = true 

Private Sub Comboyears_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles Comboyears.SelectionChanged
      if flagclear then
                exit sub
       end if 
      ' do something

 End sub

Or is there another solution ?
