Hi Jay,

I am not sure that I fully understand what is the issue you are experiencing. If you want to disable the navigation between tab items using the arrow keys, then the fastest way is to inherit RadTabItem and override its OnKeyDown method:

public class MyTabItem : RadTabItem
{
    protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
    }
}

Then you can use it just like a regular RadTabItem:

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.MainPage"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication1"
        xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
        xmlns:telerikNavigation="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <telerikNavigation:RadTabControl>
            <local:MyTabItem Header="Item 0" />
            <local:MyTabItem Header="Item 1" />
            <local:MyTabItem Header="Item 2" />
            <local:MyTabItem Header="Item 3" />
            <local:MyTabItem Header="Item 4" />
        </telerikNavigation:RadTabControl>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

If you didn't have this in mind, could you please elaborate a little bit more on what the problem is. I'd be glad to further assist you.

Hi Kiril

Please see below code , when I press two times down arrow key on textbox1 it will change selection of tabitem means item2 will be activate.
In case of my textbox is multiline I want to check inserted data using down key it will change selection of tabitem.

<telerikNavigation:RadTabControl x:Name="tabControl" TabOrientation="Horizontal" TabStripPlacement="Left" >

 

 

 

<telerikNavigation:RadTabItem x:Name="item1" Header="Item1" >

 

 

 

<Grid>

 

 

 

<TextBox x:Name="textbox1" Width="200" Height="25" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" ></TextBox>

 

 

 

<TextBox x:Name="textbox2" Width="200" Height="25" Margin="0,30,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" ></TextBox>

 

 

 

</Grid>

 

 

 

</telerikNavigation:RadTabItem>

 

 

 

<telerikNavigation:RadTabItem x:Name="Item2" Header="Item2" />

 

 

 

<telerikNavigation:RadTabItem x:Name="Item3" Header="Item3" />

 

 

 

</telerikNavigation:RadTabControl>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Thanks & Regards
Jay

Hello Jay,

Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the issue. Which version of our controls are you using? The attached sample project works with version 13.14 of our controls. Give it a try and let me know if you manage to reproduce the issue. I'd be glad to further assist you.

Sincerely yours,
