Hi All,

I have following code

public partial class Configuration : UserControl
{
public Configuration()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Configuration_Loaded);
}

void Configuration_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
combobox.Focus();
}
}

When usercontrol is loaded i want to set focus to combobox. I did same in the code. but problem is that like textbox we can not see focus on combobox. Is it bug of wpf control ?

Thanks in advance

I don't know what exactly you want, however by reading your code
- which works properly btw -
I guess you want to put a different look on the combobox, when it's focused.

You can achieve this, by using the FocusVisualStyle-Property.

Using focus methods in the constructor is wrong!
Since at this point the control is not visible, there is no control where you can set the focus.
You need a visible element with an id to set focus on.

So the code of the inquirer is correct, using it in at the "Loaded"-event.

public partial class Configuration : UserControl
{
public Configuration()
{
InitializeComponent();
combobox.Focus();
}
}

combobox Tab Index should be give 1
