IsTabStop = False on a SL4 Text box

Question

I set IsTabStop to false on a text box and I know that this makes the control unable to receive focus, but according to the Silverlight Forums, it should still be able to re

I didn't realize this, but it seems to be the case, Additionally, I can't seem to get MouseLeftButtonUp to fire. MouseLeftButtonDown does fire though and using that you can do this hack.

Then in code you can handle the event like this.

    private void TextBox_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        var textBox = ((TextBox) sender);
        textBox.IsTabStop = true;
        textBox.Focus();
        textBox.IsTabStop = false;
    }

It might be worth while to wrap it in a CustomControl

public class FocusableTextBox : TextBox
{
    protected override void OnMouseLeftButtonDown(MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsTabStop)
        {
            IsTabStop = true;
            Focus();
            IsTabStop = false;
        }

        base.OnMouseLeftButtonDown(e);
    }
}
