Template10 FocusAction to move focus after Enter key?

Is it possible to use FocusAction to move focus to another control from a KeyBehavior? If so, an example would be helpful. TIA

Fascinating.

This is what does NOT work:

<TextBox x:Name="T1">
    <Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <b:KeyBehavior Key="Enter">
            <b:FocusAction TargetObject="{Binding ElementName=T2}" />
        </b:KeyBehavior>
    </Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
</TextBox>
<TextBox x:Name="T2" />

But I love the idea and I will add it to the behavior soon.

In the meanwhile, there is no declarative way to do it without a custom something you create. BTW, I tried this (also does NOT work):

<TextBox x:Name="T1">
    <Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
        <b:KeyBehavior Key="Enter">
            <Core:CallMethodAction MethodName="Focus" TargetObject="{Binding ElementName=T2}" />
        </b:KeyBehavior>
    </Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
</TextBox>
<TextBox x:Name="T2" />

Does not work because Focus has parameters and the behavior does not support passing parameters. Though I wish it would.

Great idea though. Sort of like forcing TAB, huh? Cool.
