wpf textbox focus issue.

Question

Hi, I have a control with several textbox controls on it.

Now, when I press tab after I edit one of the textboxes, the focus is switched to the next textbox BUT I need to press an additional tab in order for it to enter the "editing" stage.

The first tab simply draws a dotted background on the textbox ... and the second one actually puts the cursor position inside the textbox. Is there a way when I press tab, to automatically set the cursor inside the textbox?

Thanks./

Are you sure you don't have any hidden controls or other controls that might be accepting focus before your textbox? Either way, you should be able to update the tabindex value of your controls so they follow a logical sequence when tab is pressed.
