Focus issue.

[Doug Cvelbar]

This is related to a recent thread. I am starting a new thread because that user was able to move the control outside of a scrollview and make it work.

 When I click on the control it does not receive focus (ie. the caret does not show up and I cannot type in the box.). If I right click and then left click in the textbox I can get the caret to show up and then type data. The textbox is in a scrollview and I can't just take it out. Our current structure requires it to live in the scrollview.

I am going to try to work around this with event handling and code.

I was able to make the rich text control react as desired by adding the following even handlers:

 

 

 

private void rtArea_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

 

{

     rtArea.UpdateEditorLayout();

}

 

 

private void rtArea_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

 

{

     rtArea.UpdateEditorLayout();

}

Without these handlers the textbox caret does not work as you would expect. The call to UpdateEditorLayout appears to put the textbox into edit mode rather than select mode. I'm sure that is not a totally correct observation but it does resolve the issue of not seeing the caret when you click in the textbox.

Hi Doug Cvelbar,

We are glad you found a solution. You can also check this thread out for another workaround:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/richtextbox/strange-click-behaviour-box-disables.aspx

About the ScrollViewer (and StackPanel) - RadRichTextBox should work if you set explicitly its Width/Height.

Let us know if you need help with anything else.
