Hi!
I have used the following template in my project:
<DataTemplate
x:Key="textBoxDataTemplate">
<TextBox
Name="textBox"
ToolTip="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"
Tag="{Binding}"
PreviewKeyDown="cellValueTextBoxKeyDown">
<TextBox.Text>
<MultiBinding
Converter="{StaticResource intToStringMultiConverter}">
<Binding
Path="CellValue"
Mode="TwoWay">
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<y:MatrixCellValueRule
MaxValue="200" />
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
<Binding
RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type y:MatrixGrid}}"
Path="Tag"
Mode="OneWay" />
</MultiBinding>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
I used this template to create an editable matrix for the user. The user is able to navigate from cell to cell within the matrix and I would like to highlight the data in the selected textbox but it doesn't work. I called TextBox.Focus () and TextBox.SelectAll () to achieve the effect but nothing. The Focus () works but the text never gets highlighted.
Any help is welcome and appreciated.
