I think that setting up a flag won't hurt anyway, even if it is ugly. 
The whole GUI world (not only gambas) seems to have this kind of 
mentality (to raise an event in response to modifications made by code), 
so even where this problem does not show, may be in the future it will 
(this is called "update a software to the latest version").
