ribbon:Button stays highlighted after click

Hi Nathan,

It sounds like the Button is just keeping focus after being clicked, like a normal button would. What you would want to do is put the button in a focus scope (like menus) so that it can return focus to the main focus scope upon click. To do this, make the parent container of the button a focus scope with this in XAML:
FocusManager.IsFocusScope="True"

Hope that helps!

Hey there,

That makes sense now that I think about it - the normal WPF buttons have much more subdued highlight state so it doesn't stand out so much.

Thanks for the tip re. the IsFocusScope too - worked like a charm!

Just a word of warning, I believe setting the container's IsFocusScope property to 'True' will change the default command targets of your buttons, so you may have to set your CommandTarget explicitly for the container. It's not something I have much experience with, but I do recall running into a command-related issue when experimenting with focus scopes.
