Remarks

If used as an input parameter for UIElement.Focus(Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FocusState), you can't use Unfocused. The FocusState value to pass to a UIElement.Focus(Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FocusState) call depends on the input scenario and which user interaction your control or app code is responding to.

The exact meaning of the FocusState values depends on whether you're reading it from UIElement.FocusState, or using a value to send to UIElement.Focus(Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FocusState). If you are setting UIElement.Focus(Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FocusState) you're informing other callers (like the control templates) about how that control obtained focus.
