* To see this behavior comment out the if block.
*
* Usually, I would handle this differently with:
* var win = Window.GetWindow(this);
* FocusManager.SetFocusedElement(win, ctlFind.txtFind);
*
* This really should be enough for focus to work in a WPF app, but I get null for win here. I think it's related to this control being hosted in a WinForms app.
* I've also tried going down the call stack and calling focus on the different controls this control is hosted in, but it had no effect.
