Set focus to a textblock??

Question

Hi,

For some reason when I try this with a textblock it returns false :-(. It works fine with a textbox.

var temp = myTextBlock.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic); // returns false

why is a textblock not focusable?

thnx

Brian

Answer 1

Text blocks are not in the tab order by default. If you want to place it in the tab order set its IsTabStop property.

Answer 2

It looks like TextBlock does not support isTabStop property :-(

Answer 3

That property is not available on a TextBlock only on a TextBox

Answer 4

Then you cannot set the focus to a TextBlock. You can set the focus only to a Control which is in the tab order (I had misremembered the TextBlock as being a Control, but it is not. It is a FrameworkElement).
