Hi all,

If this isn't the right newsgroup it would be great to get a pointer to the
correct one.

I can't get keyboard events in a trivial WPF application, the keydown event
doesn't seem to be fired. The xaml is

<Grid Keyboard.KeyDown="Grid_KeyDown">
</Grid>

and the handler is

private void Grid_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventargs e)
{
string s = "set a breakpoint here";
}

when i set a breakpoint on the handler it never fires when I type.

Ideas?

thanks,

john

Never mind, i found it. I had searched before but missed it. The 'focusable'
property has to be set on an object (like a canvas) before it will get
keyboard events.
