Question

I have a MouseDoubleClick event handler defined in a ListView.ItemContainerStyle definition as such:

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
        <EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="MyClass_MouseDoubleClick" />
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

The event handler is defined as:

private void MyClass_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    ListViewItem listViewItem = (ListViewItem)sender;
    MyClass senderItem = (MyClass)(listViewItem.Content);
    EditFile editFileWindow = new EditFile(senderItem);
    editFileWindow.Show();
}

This works as expected with the exception that the new window displays behind my main application window when it pops up. How can I set focus to the new window after it’s loaded?

I tried adding this.Focus() at the end of my window’s class constructor but it didn’t change anything.

Try this:

editFileWindow.ShowDialog();
