Canvas AllowFocusRing For custom canvas based controls

Syntec

Not sure if this is already implemented in some way and I can't find it, but I have a custom control that I want to accept focus, but need to handle the focus graphics myself. If there was an option to AllowFocus = True and AllowFocusRing = False that be super helpful.

rgb Hey rgb thanks for sharing but I am trying to allow tab focus, without drawing the native focus ring, your shared example (at least on windows) draws the native focus ring + the green ring

Yes, this is a reasonable request and I’ve accepted it: https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/1104

I’ll add an AllowFocusRing property to Canvas. It will default to True, preserving the current behaviour. Setting it to False will hide Objo’s standard focus ring without affecting keyboard focus, tab order, key events, or the FocusReceived and FocusLost events. That will allow custom Canvas-based controls to draw their own focus indication without displaying two rings.

When disabling the standard ring, developers should provide their own visible focus indication for keyboard users.

Thanks for the suggestion.
