I have a tablelist, where the <<ListBoxSelect>> command is a
time-consuming operation, so I want to invoke it only in some columns,
but not in others.

Especially column 1 is configured

-editwindow checkbutton \
-labelwindow checkbutton \

and when I click the checkbutton in that column, I do *not* want to
invoke the <<ListBoxSelect>> binding.

Is there some easy way to achieve this?

I also have

-editstartcommand [namespace code [list set_active_image 1]] \
-editendcommand [namespace code [list set_active_image 0]] \

configured on the tablelist itself, where I check for column 1 and set checked/unchecked images, so I could prohibit <<ListBoxSelect>> while
'editing' column 1, but maybe there is a smarter way?

bind [$tbl bodytag] <Button-1> {onBtn1 %W %x %y}
proc onBtn1 {w x y} {
    lassign [tablelist::convEventFields $w $x $y] tbl x y
    global clickedCol
    set clickedCol [$tbl nearestcolumn $x]
    puts $clickedCol
}

Te above code sets the global variable clickedCol to the column index of
the clicked column.  Your callback for the virtual event
<<ListBoxSelect>> could then make use of this variable to suppress the time-consuming operation for some of the columns.

Of course, <<ListboxSelect>> (or <<TablelistSelect>>), rather than <<ListBoxSelect>>.
