WPF and initial focus

Question

It seems that when a WPF application starts, nothing has focus.

This is really weird. Every other framework I\'ve used does just what you\'d expect: puts initial foc

Answer 1

I had the bright idea to dig through Reflector to see where the Focusable property is used, and found my way to this solution. I just need to add the following code to my Window's constructor:

Loaded += (sender, e) =>
    MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.First));

This will automatically select the first control in the tab order, so it's a general solution that should be able to be dropped into any window and Just Work.
