I have a WPF application, in which I have a TextBox
and a ListBox
. Inspired by this SO thread, I have implemented a Behavior, in a way that I can move the focuse from the TextBox
to the ListBox
by pressing the Down key. However, the problem is that it only happens once, i.e., OnIsFocusedChanged
is only triggered once. Can anyone tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?

You are calling OnIsFocusedChanged
when the value of the dependency property is set to a new value and it only seems to be set to a new value once, in your OnKeyDownOnTextBox
method.
You need to change the value of the ListBoxHasFocus
and TextBoxHasFocus
source properties to reset them whenever the TextBox
or the ListBox
actually receives the focus.
