  I want to assign a keyboard shortcut for direct and easy navigation to a specific tab item (just like in old days, MS provided a mechanism to Captionized the UI item with &) and I do know the WPF has an alternative to that (ampersand) form Windows Forms world.. but for some reason, renaming Header elements of my tabitem with _ (underscore) does not yield anything!
  
  

   

   

   

  <telerik:RadTabItem Header="_Main" />

   

  <telerik:RadTabItem Header="_Customer" />

   

  <telerik:RadTabItem Header="_Employee" />
  
  What's the secret behind this? :-) Please reply ASAP. We are looking into how flexible the tool is to support quick keyboard navigations..
  
  Cheers

  Hi Kam,

   You can set Label as a Header of the RadTabItems like so;

  <telerik:RadTabItem>

                          <telerik:RadTabItem.Header>

                              <Label Content="_A Tab" />

                          </telerik:RadTabItem.Header>

                      </telerik:RadTabItem>

  Please check out the attached solution. Pressing Alt + A, B or C will switch the tabs. Is this suitable for you? All the best,
