I want to interpret Enter key as Tab key in whole my WPF application, that is, everywhere in my application when user press Enter I want to focus the next focusable control,exce
Here is Matt Hamilton's code, if anyone is wondering since his site is down apparently:
public class EnterKeyTraversal
{
public static bool GetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj)
{
return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);
}
public static void SetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj, bool value)
{
obj.SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);
}
static void ue_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
var ue = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
e.Handled = true;
ue.MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next));
}
}
private static void ue_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var ue = sender as FrameworkElement;
if (ue == null) return;
ue.Unloaded -= ue_Unloaded;
ue.PreviewKeyDown -= ue_PreviewKeyDown;
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsEnabled", typeof(bool),
typeof(EnterKeyTraversal), new UIPropertyMetadata(false, IsEnabledChanged));
static void IsEnabledChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var ue = d as FrameworkElement;
if (ue == null) return;
if ((bool)e.NewValue)
{
ue.Unloaded += ue_Unloaded;
ue.PreviewKeyDown += ue_PreviewKeyDown;
}
else
{
ue.PreviewKeyDown -= ue_PreviewKeyDown;
}
}
}
