Occurs when this element gets logical focus.

Public Custom Event GotFocus As RoutedEventHandler
Event Type
Remarks
Logical focus differs from keyboard focus if focus is deliberately forced by using a method call but the previous keyboard focus exists in a different scope. In this scenario, keyboard focus remains where it is and the element where a Focus method is called still gets logical focus.
A more precise interpretation of this event is that it is raised when the value of the IsFocused property of an element in the route is changed from false
to true
.
Because this event uses bubbling routing, the element that receives focus might be a child element instead of the element where the event handler is actually attached. Check the Source in the event data to determine the actual element that gained focus.
