Hi Fabio. I agree with you, but at the same time, I have to wonder how things all should tie together. Some events need to fire, even if you started the click on _Screen. You need to acknowledge the mouseenter, mouseleave, mousemove, drag events etc. If you drag something over to the listbox and drop it, should the change event then fire? There is a lot of stuff going on, and I'm not sure how the programmer should handle it all so that it's always consistent with what each developer might expect to have happen.

At the same time, though, I do agree that if any event needs to fire in this case, it should be the InteractiveChange event, not the ProgrammaticChange.

Overall, I'm not sure this is really a simple "black and white" issue. Lots of grey, I think.
