  I'm launching the Telerik Window with .modal(true).  However, when doing this - I can still use the Tab key to move from control to control on the parent window.
  
  Is this a bug or do you have a recommendation for disabling the keyboard events on the parent window?
  
  Thanks for the help,
  -Darren

  Hi Darren,
  
  This behavior is expected - you can't completely block the browser's page (like it is done when for example window.alert() is called) as this is something that cannot be done with JavaScript. What I could suggest in your case is to use Window's OnOpen and OnClose events and manually intercept the keys that you don't want to be active while a Window is shown. This StackOverflow article shows one way to prevent the Tab key with jQuery.
  
  Kind regards,

  Yep - that's what I thought.  Exactly what I needed.  Just disabled tab & space.
  
  Thanks Georgi.
