In C# WPF, why is my TabControl’s SelectionChanged event firing too often?

by

The TabControl.SelectionChanged is the same event as a ComboBox.SelectionChanged

It originates from Selector.SelectionChanged.

So, if you do not mark your event as handled in your event handler, it will bubble up the tree, and eventually arrive at your TabControl, which is causing this “firing too often” issue.

Mark your event as handled in your SelectionChanged of your ComboBox/ListBox/ListView/any other Selector you use in your DataGrid like so:

private void MyComboBox_OnSelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    e.Handled = true;
}

And this inconvenience will go away ;).
