Case: I want to keep an element focused unless the element that tries to grab focus is a another Entry element.
I have this component (SearchBar.xaml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentView xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:localization="clr-namespace:POS365.Src.Extensions"
xmlns:fontAwesome="clr-namespace:FontAwesome"
x:Class="SomeApp.Src.Components.SearchBar">
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="32,*">
<Label Grid.Column="0" FontFamily="FAS" Text="{x:Static fontAwesome:FontAwesomeIcons.MagnifyingGlass}" FontSize="Large" Style="{DynamicResource HeaderBarSearchIconStyle}"/>
<Entry Grid.Column="1" x:Name="SearchField" MaxLength="20" Text="" HeightRequest="32" />
</Grid>
</ContentView>
and (SearchBar.xaml.cs)
using System.ComponentModel;
namespace SomeApp.Src.Components;
public partial class SearchBar : ContentView
{
public SearchBar()
{
InitializeComponent();
SearchField.Unfocused += OnLostFocus;
}
public void OnLostFocus(object sender, FocusEventArgs e)
{
// TODO: Find out when to focus this, probably based on what takes focus if possible
// FocusSearchField();
}
// Used by Loaded event elsewhere
public void FocusSearchField()
{
SearchField.Focus();
}
}
It seems that OnLostFocus only gets the element that lost focus and not the element that took focus. How do I get the current focused element, so I can see which type of element it is?
