I found this on silverlight.net, and was able to get it to work for me by adding a call to System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Plugin.Focus() prior to calling RegularTextBox.Focus(): private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Plugin.Focus(); RegularTextBox.Focus(); }
Although you cannot programatically create it, you can load it from a XAML string in code like this: public static DataTemplate Create(Type type) { return (DataTemplate) XamlReader.Load( @”<DataTemplate xmlns=””http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007″”> <” + type.Name + @”/> </DataTemplate>” ); } The snippet above creates a data template containing a single control, which may be a user control with … Read more
