How to set focus on newly added document - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Hi,

Somewhat new to this so if somebody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I'm using MVVM along with a TabbedMdiHost and using a DeferableObservableCollection to hold the documents (this.documentItems)

I can successfully add a new document programmatically by adding it to the documentItems collection (this.documentItems.Add(xxxxx)

My question is how do I then set focus to that new document window? I have looked high and low and I'm sure it's simple.

Right now it adds the tab but the focus stays on the current document.

Thanks!

Rick

Hi Rick,

You can use the DockSite.ContainerFromItem method to get a docking window for an item. Then just call Activate() on that to make sure its tab is visible/selected, and the content gets focused.
