I added a Keyboard Shortcut, and I want to link it to a textbox (inside my UserControl) I added in the CommandBar. Keyboard Shortcut event work, but the problem is that I can't set the focus on the textbox of my UserControl. Either myTextBox.Focus() or myTextBox.Select() won't work. Any clue?

Thanks,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

You need to use the ActiveInstance property. Please see the code below: 

private void adxCommandBarButton1_Click(object sender)
{
	TextBox activeTextBox = adxCommandBarAdvancedControl1.ActiveInstance as TextBox;
	if (activeTextBox != null)
	activeTextBox.Focus();
}
