I use Catel. I need to prevent focusing the first menu item of my application on startup.

This is my window:

<catel:Window x:Class="SpringExpert.Views.MainWindow"
              xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
              xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
              xmlns:catel="http://schemas.catelproject.com"
              ShowInTaskbar="True"
              ResizeMode="CanResize"
              Style="{StaticResource WindowStyle}">
  <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
      <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Menu Style="{StaticResource MenuStyle}">
        ...
    </Menu>
  </Grid>
</catel:Window>

On startup of my application the first menu item is focused.

The DataWindow in Catel automatically focuses the first control for you (since that is the default behavior most people want). However... if you don't want this behavior, you can customize the call to the base in your code-behind like this:

public MainWindow()
  : base(DataWindowMode.Custom, focusFirstControl: false)
{
