I have an application that has menu keyboard shortcuts and text boxes. I want the keyboard shortcuts to be disabled when the text box has focus, but I can't figure out an easy way to do this. I could handle the text box's PreviewKeyDown event, but sending a KeyDown event doesn't cause the TextInput event to trigger so I'd have to manually trigger the TextInput event myself, and I'd have to make sure that every text box overrides the PreviewKeyDown event and creates a TextInput event.
Is this the only way suppress menu keyboard shortcuts when a textbox has focus or is there another way that is less error prone?
EDIT:
Here's how I'm adding the keyboard shortcut:
var kgc = new NuiWpfCore.Input.UnrestrictedKeyGestureConverter(); // allows gestures without modifier keys
var result = kgc.ConvertFromString(s) as NuiWpfCore.Input.UnrestrictedKeyGesture;
m_KeyBinding = new KeyBinding();
m_KeyBinding.Command = KeyBindingCommand;
m_KeyBinding.Modifiers = result.Modifiers;
m_KeyBinding.Key = result.Key;
m_Parent.InputBindings.Add(m_KeyBinding); // m_Parent is of type UIElement
