The change looks good. However, is there a way we can make the focus visual around the header more visible. As of now, it is getting clipped, and the A11y team will push back for this.

WPF Gallery → Collections → DataGrid: while navigating with the keyboard, focus skipped the column headings, so keyboard-only users could not reach them.
DataGridColumnHeaderis non-focusable by default.This adds a
ColumnHeaderStyleon the sample DataGrid that setsFocusable=True(based on the Fluent default style), so the column headings receive keyboard focus during navigation. The displayed XamlCode is updated to match.Testing: Navigate to Collections → DataGrid and Tab/arrow into the table - focus now lands on the column headers.
