FrameworkElement.MoveFocus Method (TraversalRequest)

.NET Framework (current version)

Moves the keyboard focus away from this element and to another element in a provided traversal direction.

Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)

Syntax

override MoveFocus : 
        request:TraversalRequest -> bool

Parameters

request: Type: System.Windows.Input.TraversalRequest
The direction that focus is to be moved, as a value of the enumeration.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

Returns true if focus is moved successfully; false if the target element in direction as specified does not exist or could not be keyboard focused.

Remarks

This implementation overrides UIElement.MoveFocus and seals the method.

The following example implements a handler that handles several possible button inputs. Each button represents a possible FocusNavigationDirection. The handler tracks the element with current keyboard focus, and calls MoveFocus on that element, by specifying the appropriate FocusNavigationDirection as initialization for the TraversalRequest type parameter provided.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
