Set focus to datagrid from treeview

Question

I'm attempting to set the focus to a datagrid after a selection has been made in a treeview. I'm capturing the correct value in the treeview, and making a decision based on that value, so things are working to that point. Now I simply want to set focus to a datagrid, any row, any column. In the past I've had to use a delegate, but I'm unclear if this is true in WPF. Seems simple, but so far the solution is elusive.

Vulpes - That worked. Thanks for your help.

Although it doesn't look like it Focus is actually a method which sets focus to a control. It returns a bool - true if successful or false otherwise - but you can throw this away if you're confident it will work. So I'd try something like: bool isSuccess = dataGrid1.Focus();

Vulpes - Thanks for your response. Setting the datagrid's focus method to true was included in my first attempt however I received this design time error: Cannot assign to 'focus' because it is a 'method group'.

Off the top of my head I'd have thought that calling the DataGrid's Focus() method should do it. For that to work the Focusable property needs to be set to true which should be the case anyway.
