Remarks

Peripheral UI appears and supports user interaction, but does not take keyboard focus when it appears. Examples of peripheral UI includes popups, flyouts, context menus, or floating notifications.

When the IsPeripheral property is true, a client application can't assume that focus was taken by the element even if it's currently keyboard-interactive.

This property is relevant for these control types:

  • Group controls
  • Menu controls
  • Pane controls
  • ToolBar controls
  • ToolTip controls
  • Window controls
  • Custom controls
