How to get focused control in WPF?

Question

How can I get the current focused control in WPF?

I found some solution for WinForms, but calling the WIN32 API function didn't work in WPF?

Is there a way to do this in WPF?

Answer 1

Here is what i did

protected override void OnPreviewLostKeyboardFocus(KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs e) { lostFocusControl = e.OldFocus; } private void PauseButton_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { // invoke OnPreviewLostKeyboardFocus handler }

I know this is a late answer, but maybe finding people can find this useful, I found it on msdn in the "Navigation" Focus Programmatically "section at the bottom of the page:

 UIElement elementWithFocus = Keyboard.FocusedElement as UIElement;
