For those trying to use Anvaka's solution above, I was having issues with the binding only working the first time, as lostfocus would not update the property to false. You can manually set the property to false and then true every time, but a better solution could be to do something like this in your property:

bool _isFocused = false;
    public bool IsFocused 
    {
        get { return _isFocused ; }
        set
        {
            _isFocused = false;
            _isFocused = value;
            base.OnPropertyChanged("IsFocused ");
        }
    }

This way you only ever need to set it to true, and it will get focus.
