        </DockPanel>

    </DockPanel>

when i run the program the save button is getting to be selected for some reason and i dont want it to be. thanks in advance for your help

I think that the first button is the one that gets selected - but I could well be wrong on that.

You can specify which button you want to be the default by setting the IsDefault property of another button to true.

If you want to set the focus to a text box then you can use:

FocusManager.FocusedElement="{Binding ElementName=myTextBox}"

in the Window definition.
