WPF 每个 TabItem 的初始焦点

Question

Okay, I know this title looks like it has answers all around SO, but none of the answers found here worked for me. So, here goes.

I have this layout:

<Window>
  <Grid>
    <DockPanel>
      <TabControl>
        <TabItem>
          <Page x:Name="p">
            <Grid x:Name="g2">
              <TabControl x:Name="tc">
                <TabItem x:Name="ti1">
                  <StackPanel x:Name="sp">
                    <C:TextBox x:Name="txt"/>
                  </StackPanel>
                </TabItem>
                <TabItem x:Name="ti2">
                  <C:DataGrid x:Name="dg"/>
                </TabItem>
              </TabControl>
            </Grid>
          </Page>
        </TabItem>
      </TabControl>
    </DockPanel>
  </Grid>
</Window>

Now, my goal is to put focus on txt TextBox when ti1 TabItem gets selected and on dg DataGrid when ti2 TabItem gets selected. Also, I would really love to set this in XAML .

Note: I can only use controls that are named here, so up until Page control.

What have I tried so far:

• setting FocusManager.FocusedElement="{Binding ElementName=txt}" on all of the parent controls in the parent tree of the txt Control (up until Page ).
• setting FocusManager.FocusedElement="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" on the txt and dg controls.

• setting focus in code through TabControl 's SelectionChanged event:

  • if ( ti1.IsSelected ) { tc.UpdateLayout(); FocusManager.SetFocusedElement( sp, txt ); }
  • and
  • if ( ti1.IsSelected ) { tc.UpdateLayout(); txt.Focus(); }

TextBox and DataGrid controls are created like UserControl s, but are actually classes that inherit TextBox and DataGrid , like this:

<TextBox ... </TextBox>

and

public partial class TextBox : System.Windows.Controls.TextBox

As I said, XAML solution is desired, but I will also settle for a code one, if former is not possible.

Answer 1

Okay, the Dispatcher part from answer was the solution for me, although not the complete one. The answer for me was to update TabControl layout with the Dispatcher and than invoke the Focus Dispatcher . So, the complete answer for me was:

Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( (Action) (() => tc.UpdateLayout()) );
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke( (Action) (() => txt.Focus() ) );

or you can use just Invoke instead, for the UI thread to wait for your Action .

And for the reason why I had to use a Dispatcher , it is because I used it to change the selected tab in the first place. That is my best guess, at least.

You could try something similar to your code-behind solution but with this variation:

<TabControl x:Name="tc" SelectionChanged="tc_selectionChanged">

and in code behind:

InitializeComponent();

//if you know which control to focus by default when page is first loaded
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => { txt.Focus(); })); 

and

private void tc_selectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (ti1.IsSelected)
    {
        txt.Focus();
    }
    else if (ti2.IsSelected)
    {
        dg.Focus();
    }
}

I tried this exact setup on my own WPF application so I know it works.

Found solution using extension attribute

public static class TabItemExtention
{
    public static bool GetIsSelected(DependencyObject obj)
    {
        return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsSelectedProperty);
    }

    public static void SetIsSelected(DependencyObject obj, bool value)
    {
        obj.SetValue(IsSelectedProperty, value);
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsSelectedProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
            "IsSelected", typeof(bool), typeof(TabItemExtention),
            new UIPropertyMetadata(false, OnIsSelectedPropertyChanged));

    private static void OnIsSelectedPropertyChanged(
        DependencyObject d,
        DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var uie = (UIElement)d;
        var tabItem = uie as TabItem;
        if (tabItem != null)
            tabItem.IsSelected = (bool)e.NewValue;
        if ((bool)e.NewValue)
        {
            uie.UpdateLayout();
        }
    }
}

XAML:

ctrl:TabItemExtention.IsSelected="{Binding IsTabNewCustomsDelaySelected}"
