Can't set focus to a child of UserControl

Question

I have a UserControl which contains a TextBox. When my main window loads I want to set the focus to this textbox so I added Focusable=\"True

Answer 1

After trying combinations of the suggestions above, I was able to reliably assign focus to a desired text box on a child UserControl with the following. Basically, give focus to the child control and have the child UserControl give focus to its TextBox. The TextBox's focus statement returned true by itself, however did not yield the desired result until the UserControl was given focus as well. I should also note that the UserControl was unable to request focus for itself and had to be given by the Window.

For brevity I left out registering the Loaded events on the Window and UserControl.

Window

private void OnWindowLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ControlXYZ.Focus();
}

UserControl

private void OnControlLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    TextBoxXYZ.Focus();
}
