I want a control to lose focus but don't have a specific place to put focus.  Is there some way to do this?

Currently I'm hacking it by creating a button that has an opacity and size of 0.  I set the focus to this invisible button.  But this seems like a total hack.

The scenario I'm trying to cover here is the user enters some kind of cellEditor.  They submit their changes by pressing enter.  The cellEditor needs to lose focus but nothing else should assume focus.

Thanks for the help,

You can place focus on the SL control using the HTML integration.

If possible could you provide a link for reference or a bit more details regarding the HTML Integration. I will try to hunt it down on my own tomorrow but if you have an example or a reference that will help out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi:

  I think there's no other option in current version. We have to focus another control to get a blur effect.

 Thanks Allen,

 That's the approach I'm using now but its really hacky and doesn't work all that well.  I'm running into problems with the popup which may be related.  Anyways I'm off for the next few weeks but thanks for all your help.
