Tabing issue with RadExpander and RadTileViewItem

[SivaPrasad Bevara]

Hi,

I am facing tabing problem with the RadExpander and RadTileViewItem controls.

I have one RadDatePicker and after that a set of controls in the RadExpander. When I clcik tab in the datepicker control it is taking specific number of tab hits to move to the controls in the RadExpander. 

The number of tab hits are varying based on the controls in the RadExpander control.
I have similar problem with the RadTileViewItem also.

Please help me.

Hi,

I got solution for the above issue.

It is because of some custom control which we are using in the RadExpander. I fixed that.

Now I am facing another problem with Rad Expander.

The issues is, After tabing through all the controls in the RadExpander it is going to the RadExpander's header.

I have 1 textbox and 2 RadExpanders in my page, and I want to traverse through all the controls by tabing.

Following is the sample code which I am using.

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="1"></TextBox>
        <Telerik:RadExpander x:Name="ra1" IsExpanded="True" Header="First" IsTabStop="False">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBlock Text="name"></TextBlock>
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="3"></TextBox>
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="4"></TextBox>
                </StackPanel>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="5"></TextBox>
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="6"></TextBox>
                </StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </Telerik:RadExpander>
        <Telerik:RadExpander x:Name="ra2" IsExpanded="True" IsTabStop="False">
            <Telerik:RadExpander.Header>
                <TextBlock Text="Second"></TextBlock>
            </Telerik:RadExpander.Header>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="8"></TextBox>
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="9"></TextBox>
                </StackPanel>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="10"></TextBox>
                    <TextBox Width="100" Height="20" TabIndex="11"></TextBox>
                </StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </Telerik:RadExpander>
    </StackPanel>

In the above, when I click on tab in the first textbox, it is properly entering into the RadExpander. But after traversing all the controls in the RadExpander using tab it is moving to the RadExpanders header and then moving to the next RadExpanders controls. And I dont want the focus to go to the RadExpanders herader.

Please help.

Hello SivaPrasad Bevara,

Currently this behavior is by design, so you can edit the default style of the RadExpander in Blend, find the template part "HeaderButton" and set IsTabStop = False, because currently it is set to true. If you have further questions feel free to ask.

Hello Viktor,
I have the same problem on a RadExpander where I want IsTabStop="False" for it.
Why don't just set the IsTabStop dependency property of the header to the same value as the IsTabStop dependency property of the RadExpander?
It would be a very simple correction to this problem.
