Extended canvas KeyDown event not fired
- 0
Hi,
In my window I have tabcontainer which includes tabs with my extended canvas.
I tried in few ways add handlers for events (KeyDown, OnPreviewKeyDown etc, AddHandler(...)) on this canvas but event is not fireing. I tried to use Keyboard.Focus method but it still not works. What should I do? I would like to add some canvas connected functionality which needs keyboard.

This is because the Canvas control is not focusable by default. You can set the Canvas.Focusable to true to achieve this goal. Here is the example.
Code Snippet<Canvas KeyDown="Canvas_KeyDown" PreviewKeyDown="Canvas_PreviewKeyDown"
Focusable="True" Width="300" Height="300"/>
private void Canvas_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("KeyDown");
}
private void Canvas_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("PreviewKeyDown");
}
Best Regards,

Ok it works but I moved logic of key down event at canvas container level (TabItem).
