How to move focus between different controls using Interactivity Behavior?

Question

I have a WPF application, in which I have a TextBox and a ListBox. Inspired by this SO thread, I have implemented a Behavior, in a way that I can move the focuse from the TextBox to the ListBox by pressing the Down key. However, the problem is that it only happens once, i.e., OnIsFocusedChanged is only triggered once. Can anyone tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?

Answer 1

You are calling OnIsFocusedChanged when the value of the dependency property is set to a new value and it only seems to be set to a new value once, in your OnKeyDownOnTextBox method.

You need to change the value of the ListBoxHasFocus and TextBoxHasFocus source properties to reset them whenever the TextBox or the ListBox actually receives the focus.
