I can't find a way of getting IsFocused to trigger for a DoubleUpDown control. (In fact it looks like this problem applies to all the xxxUpDown controls).
e.g., the following code does not trigger a background change:
```
<Style x:Key="expNumUpDownStyle" TargetType="xctk:DoubleUpDown" >
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Purple" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
```
```
<xctk:DoubleUpDown Style="{StaticResource expNumUpDownStyle}" />
```
A [stackoverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17160298/wpftoolkit-autocompletebox-style-trigger-isfocused-not-firing) for the same problem with a different toolkit control suggested attaching handlers to GotFocus and LostFocus on a derived control. I tried this but couldn't get this to work.
I also tried tracing the IsFocused value in these handlers, and it appeared to remain false, regardless of focus status.
Do you know if this is a known problem, and is there any workaround?

Hi,
As soon as the NumericUpDown gets the Focus, the Focus is transferred to its WatermarkTemplate (to be able to edit right away).
Try testing IsKeyboardFocusWithin property. It will gets a value indicating whether keyboard focus is anywhere within the element or its visual tree child elements
```
<Style x:Key="expNumUpDownStyle"
TargetType="xctk:DoubleUpDown">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="Green" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
```
