I just wrote this code:

builder.Define(
    mEntryColumn,
    aEditor,
    (column, editor) => column.AddNumericField(editor.Format)
                            .BoundTo(editor, e => e.Value)
                            .FocusWhen<ResponseEditor, EventArgs>(
                                editor, 
                                (e, handler) => e.Focussed += handler));

FocusWhen() is designed to hook up a UI Control (just created by the call to AddNumericField()) with a domain object (aEditor) so that aEditor can make the control focused.

It works. But it sure as gravy ain’t pretty.

I think it fails the WTFs/m metric.

I needs me a better way!
