Disable whole user control focusing from keyboard

Question

I have UserControl in a window. When user walks window with "Tab" key user control gets focused and dashed border drawn around it. How to prevent this behavior?

Answer 1

Try it for an control set Focusable = "False". Example:

<Grid Focusable="False">
...
</Grid>

Or set the Style to focus yourself:

<Grid FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}" />

Also, the Style of focus might be:

<Style x:Key="MyItemFocusVisual" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
    <Setter Property="Control.Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
                <Border SnapsToDevicePixels="True" CornerRadius="0" BorderThickness="5" BorderBrush="#7B2F81" />
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

Using:

<Grid Focusable="True" FocusVisualStyle="{StaticResource MyItemFocusVisual}" ... />

Output
