Moves the keyboard focus away from this element and to another element in a provided traversal direction.
public:
override bool MoveFocus(System::Windows::Input::TraversalRequest ^ request);
public override sealed bool MoveFocus (System.Windows.Input.TraversalRequest request);
override this.MoveFocus : System.Windows.Input.TraversalRequest -> bool
Public Overrides NotOverridable Function MoveFocus (request As TraversalRequest) As Boolean
Parameters
- request
- TraversalRequest
The direction that focus is to be moved, as a value of the enumeration.
Returns
Returns true
if focus is moved successfully; false
if the target element in direction as specified does not exist or could not be keyboard focused.
Examples
The following example implements a handler that handles several possible button inputs. Each button represents a possible FocusNavigationDirection. The handler tracks the element with current keyboard focus, and calls MoveFocus on that element, by specifying the appropriate FocusNavigationDirection as initialization for the TraversalRequest type parameter provided.
// Creating a FocusNavigationDirection object and setting it to a
// local field that contains the direction selected.
FocusNavigationDirection focusDirection = _focusMoveValue;
// MoveFocus takes a TraveralReqest as its argument.
TraversalRequest request = new TraversalRequest(focusDirection);
// Gets the element with keyboard focus.
UIElement elementWithFocus = Keyboard.FocusedElement as UIElement;
// Change keyboard focus.
if (elementWithFocus != null)
{
elementWithFocus.MoveFocus(request);
}
' Creating a FocusNavigationDirection object and setting it to a
' local field that contains the direction selected.
Dim focusDirection As FocusNavigationDirection = _focusMoveValue
' MoveFocus takes a TraveralReqest as its argument.
Dim request As New TraversalRequest(focusDirection)
' Gets the element with keyboard focus.
Dim elementWithFocus As UIElement = TryCast(Keyboard.FocusedElement, UIElement)
' Change keyboard focus.
If elementWithFocus IsNot Nothing Then
elementWithFocus.MoveFocus(request)
End If
Remarks
This implementation overrides UIElement.MoveFocus and seals the method.
