Property Value
bool
true if focus can be constrained within the control boundaries; otherwise, false.
Remarks
IsFocusEngagementEnabled must be true and the control must have focus before you set the IsFocusEngaged property to true. Otherwise, a runtime exception will occur.
When the IsFocusEngagementEnabled property is set to true, it marks the control as requiring focus engagement. This means that the user must press the A/Select button to "engage" the control and interact with it. When they are finished, they can press the B/Back button to disengage the control and navigate away from it.
Focus engagement makes it easier to use a game controller to interact with an app. Setting focus engagement does not affect keyboard or other input devices. For more info, see Focus engagement.
