If you use a control to show some information related to the
selected listview/treeview item (i.e. the file list in a file manager)
it should update that information.
gambas does fire the event to access such update.
It would be stupid to see the information (filelist) from wrong item(directory).

You can use Lock and unlock to prevent if it is not wanted.

No misunderstanding, the event is/was not mentioned and I had once the same
problem of fireing the events. 

MS-VB let you set the new item in code and you must call the updating 
routine yourself. It is just logical the way gambas handle this.
