Ribbon Control Focus on button click

Question

I have a problem with the Microsoft Ribbon Control. If I have the focus in a Textbox and click a Button in the Ribbon menu, the focus still remains in the Textbox. And so the textbox property in my ViewModel does not get updated.

I searched the web but did not find a solution. I tried setting FocusManager.IsFocusScope and Focusable of the Ribbon control with no effect.

All I want is if the button is clicked the textbox looses focus.

I'd imagine something like this: (assuming the ribbon's x:name is ribbon)

ribbon.PreviewMouseDown += handlerMethod;
public void handlerMethod(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    ribbon.Focus();
}

Thanks for your answer. Tried your solution, it works if I set FocusManager.IsFocusScope to False for the Ribbon. Is this with XAML only also possible? – LuckyStrike Jan 21 '13 at 16:39
I don't know, I'll try and find something. – It'sNotALie. Jan 21 '13 at 16:53
