How to test which combobox has been most recently changed? WPF

Is there a way to check to see which combobox which value has been most recently changed?

how to check if item is selected from a comboBox in C#

I know you can do this,

if (MyComboBox.SelectedIndex >= 0)
{
    //do stuff
}

The problem I am having is that I am combining Event Handlers in to one handler due to the amount of comboboxes and having one event for each combobox really is not practical if I can help it.

Is there a way to have a variable assigned giving you the name of the combobox which value has been most recently changed? Or will I have to use individual event handlers for each combobox?

Hope that each comboBox having an unique name, then we can use those name to identify which one is the sender of event: Now consider the following code for this:

private void CboFirst_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    ComboBox selctedComboBox = sender as ComboBox;
    string ComboName = selctedComboBox.Name;
    // Do something
}

Now tracking the last updated ComboBox, You can achieve this by keeping a blobal variable and update it in every trigger so Every time it holds the Latest value( the name of the combobox)

Actually It will be very easy to track most recent combobox change when you using single event handler for all combobox. You can do by following way.

string lastComboName=""; // define global variable  
//common event handler for all combobox 
 private void ComboBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
 {
    var cmb = (ComboBox)sender; 
    lastComboName = cmb.Name;
 }
