PreviewLostKeyboardFocus is called repeatedly if its handler shows a Windows Forms message box

Scope

Edge

Version Introduced

4.5

Source Analyzer Status

Available

Change Description

Beginning in the .NET Framework 4.5, calling System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show from a xref:System.Windows.UIElement.PreviewLostKeyboardFocus handler will cause the handler to re-fire when the message box is closed, potentially resulting in an infinite loop of message boxes.

  • Quirked
  • Build-time break

Recommended Action

There are two options to work around this issue -

  1. It may be avoided by calling System.Windows.MessageBox.Show instead of System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show.
  2. It may be avoided by showing the message box from a xref:System.Windows.UIElement.LostKeyboardFocus event handler (as opposed to a xref:System.Windows.UIElement.PreviewLostKeyboardFocus?displayProperty=name event handler).

Affected APIs

  • M:System.Windows.ContentElement.add_PreviewLostKeyboardFocus(System.Windows.Input.KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler)
  • M:System.Windows.IInputElement.add_PreviewLostKeyboardFocus(System.Windows.Input.KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler)
  • M:System.Windows.UIElement.add_PreviewLostKeyboardFocus(System.Windows.Input.KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler)
  • M:System.Windows.UIElement3D.add_PreviewLostKeyboardFocus(System.Windows.Input.KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler)
