I'm currently trying out C# and WPF for the first time.
I have a window with two tabs, tabA and tabB. Each tab has a list box (they are almost identical), tabA has listboxA and tabB has listboxB. When an item in a list box is selected, some information about the item is shown, so that I know that it is selected.
On a certain event E, I want an item in listboxA or listboxB to be highlighted and selected, which one is determined by the logic in my application.
Scenario A is that I am currently on tabA. When E occurs, an item in listboxA is chosen. I call listboxA.Focus(), and then listboxA.SelectedItem = item. This works fine. item is selected, so the information about the item is shown, and the item is highlighted in the list.
Scenario B, where I have my problem, is that I am currently on tabA. When E occurs, an item in listboxB is chosen. I call tabControl.SelectedItem = tabB to switch the tab, which works fine. As in Scenario A, I call listboxB.Focus() and then listboxB.SelectedItem = item. The item is selected, because the information about the item is shown, but, here's the thing: The item is not highlighted in the list box.
This also happens when changing from tabB to tabA. It always happens when I change the tab, but if I stay in the same tab the highlight works fine.
Does anyone know if there's anything else I need to do to give the list box the focus after changing the tab, apart from calling Focus()?
