I haven't tried to embed a WinForm control in a WPF application until now, so I may not be doing this right. When I create the WindowsFormsHost and add the WinForm control (the TextEditorControl from SharpDevelop) I cannot programmatically assign the keyboard focus to the WinForm control.
First I tried using the Focus() method on the control itself and on its text area. I never see the cursor blinking and keyboard input is ignored.
Then I used interop to pull in the user32.dll function, SetFocus(HWND) which when called with the control's text area Handle makes the cursor blink in the control, but keyboard input is still ignored.
I created a subclass of WindowsFormsHost so that I could set some breakpoints on the various On*Focus methods. The only thing that I can see is that OnLostKeyboardFocus is called when I manually click on the text editor control, but the KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs.NewFocus argument is null, which means the new control is not recognized by WPF. That makes perfect sense since the control receiving the keyboard focus is a WinForms control.
So, any thoughts? Has anyone ever encounter this problem before? I have been searching on Google for hours and have not come up with anything.
Thanks!

Here's a little more information:
If I create a subclass of WindowsFormsHost and override the OnKeyboardGotFocus method like this:
[DllImport( "user32.dll" )]
private static extern IntPtr SetFocus( IntPtr hWnd );
protected override void OnGotKeyboardFocus( KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs e )
{
base.OnGotKeyboardFocus( e );
SetFocus( editor.ActiveTextAreaControl.TextArea.Handle );
}
I can direct the keyboard focus to the editor control, but the cursor never appears. If I override OnGotFocus in the same way, I can see the cursor blinking but the keyboard focus doesn't change. If I override both, I get the keyboard focus but no cursor.

If you can give me a small ready-to-run sample I might be able to help you. We have lots of Winforms/Wpf interaction and I remember that it was quite a challenge to get the focus right. You might want to try to set the focus to your element via a dispatcher like so:
Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => Focus()), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background);
this might also help:

Is there a control anywhere that is similar to the page that you see when you make a new message on this website?

Ummmm, is this WPF related at all?

I would like to bind the SelectedIndex property of ComboBox to a property that is defined in my class that extends the Window class. It is hard to explain what exactly I want, so I will try to explain it with a simple example:
here is my .xaml code:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication3.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ComboBox Grid.Row="0" x:Name="cmbSource" SelectionChanged="cmbSource_SelectionChanged">
<ComboBox.Items>
<ComboBoxItem> 1 </ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem> 2 </ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox.Items>
</ComboBox>
<ComboBox Grid.Row="1" x:Name="cmbDestination" SelectedIndex="{Binding ElementName=Item, Path=Index}"> <!-- this doesn't work -->
<ComboBox.Items>
<ComboBoxItem>Item 1</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Item 2</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox.Items>
</ComboBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
and here is my code-behind code:
namespace WpfApplication3
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
private Test _item;
public Test Item
{
get{return this._item;}
set{this._item = value;}
}
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void cmbSource_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
Item = new Test(cmbSource.SelectedIndex);
}
}
public class Test
{
private int _index;
public int Index
{
get { return this._index; }
set { this._index = value; }
}
public Test(int index)
{
Index = index;
}
}
}
When I was tring to solve this problem, I extended my Window1 class so it implements INotifyPropertyChanged interface, than I extended the Test class the same way, but nothing works. I even tried to define the Item Property as a DependencyProperty, but that didn't work either. Any idea will be appreciated.
thanks

You need to change your "Binding ElementName=Item, Path=Index"
First, add a x:Name property to your Window.
Then change the ElementName to the Window.Name property value.
Then change the Path to Item.Index

That's not the way this site works you know. We don't actually write your code for you.

Asking for full code breaches the spirit of the site - and you'll get short shrift for it. We give you help, and pointers, we don't write the code. If you're given a snippet and it doesn't work, reply to the poster and ask for clarification - that's the normal etiquette. You'll see that most of the solutions in the forums, are in the form of snippets or advice on where to look. That's just the way it is - because you will learn best by actually solving the problem for yourself.

Here is what i have tried..
<Window x:Class="TextBoxValidation.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:y="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<TextBox>
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<local:MatchRule MatchText="Hello" />
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
namespace TextBoxValidation
{
class validatetextbox : ValidationRule
{
public string MatchText { get; set; }
public override ValidationResult Validate(object value,
CultureInfo info)
{
if ((string)value == MatchText)
return new ValidationResult(true, null);
return new ValidationResult(false, "This is not a match");
}
}
}
Here are my results..
http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. Line 9 Position 18

Well, the first thing I can see is that you've called the class validatetextbox, but it's referred to as MatchRule. Rename the class to MatchRule. Also, I don't see a reference to xmlns:local in the Window declaration.
|
|
|
|
|
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TextBoxValidation"
<local:validatetextbox MatchText="Hello" />
I have included these two line but still getting the same error
|
|
|
|

The reason you are getting this error is because you haven't specified valid XAML code. Basically, you want to change your XAML so that you are binding your textbox to something, and set your validation rule on it like so:
<TextBox>
<Binding Path="Name">
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<local:MatchRule MatchText="Hello" />
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
</TextBox>Take a look at this[^] article for a detailed example.

No but I will give a hint, you are looking for ValidationRule

Hi.
How to handle Tab Index changing in TabControl ?
Thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a SelectionChanged event that you can handle.

Thanks Karl.
But how can I get Selected tab index ? 
|
|
|
|

TabControl is like other ItemsControls. It has SelectedIndex, SelectedItem, and SelectedValue properties that you can use in your code, depending on what you are looking to do.

Thanks Karl for a nice and quick response.
In WinForm we can get TebIndex :
void tabControl1_Selected(object sender, TabControlEventArgs e)
{
}
But in WPF I didn't find a thing like that :
private void TabControl_SelectionChanged(object sender,
SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
}
|
|
|
|
|
That is the event you need to handle.

Yes, I understand.
But I want to get new SelectedIndex of tab when SelectedIndex changed ?
Do you understand what I mean ?
