Clicking in the editor doesn't take focus from WPF controls - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Craig - Varigence, Inc.

Version: 4.0.0281

I have an application that uses a TabbedMdiContainer with two Document Windows. One window contains a WPF DataGrid and the other contains the WinForms SyntaxEditor. If I double click a cell in the DataGrid and then click inside another WPF control, the DG cell edit ends, as expected. However, if I double click a cell in the DataGrid and then click inside the syntax editor, the DG cell remains stuck in edit mode. Is there anything I can do to prevent this behavior? Note that I can repro an analogous problem between a WPF ListBox and the SyntaxEditor; I imagine these are focus related issues.

BTW, I'm sending a sample application over that reproduces the issue.

Thanks,

-Craig

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the sample. Unfortunately I don't believe it's anything we're doing and may be a bug with the DataGrid. If you swap the WinForms SyntaxEditor with a WinForms TextBox, you'll see the same behavior. Thus it must be a focus issue with WPF interop that perhaps the DataGrid doesn't handle gracefully.

You may be able to watch the WindowActivated event and manually move focus in that case.
