gridview tabindex in cell controls

[matias]

hello, i am using  gridview with mvvm pattern and binding
i use columns like this to build my grid:

<telerik:GridViewColumn IsSortable="False" HeaderText="Amount">
                        <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
                            <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
                                <Setter Property="Template">
                                    <Setter.Value>
                                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
                                            <StackPanel>
                                                <TextBox PreviewKeyDown="TextBox_PreviewKeyDown" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                                                         Margin="3" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                                         Text="{Binding Path=Amount, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"></TextBox>
                                            </StackPanel>
                                        </ControlTemplate>
                                    </Setter.Value>
                                </Setter>
                            </Style>
                        </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn>

the problem is i can´t set tab index to my controls (textboxes), i want to press tab and move to my textbox, how can i do so?
when i press tab i get focus in the cell not in my textbox

Hi matias,

Indeed there are some issues with Tab navigation when GridViewCell contains different objects which should get focus. We are doing our best to fix it for the next official release (2009.Q3).

Meanwhile you can take some advantages from the WPF platform and to hook for the GridViewCell.GotFocus event via EventSetter in the GridVIewCell style in the xaml code.

I'm attaching a sample project which demonstrates this approach.

thx, anyway, i`ve solved it setting focusable = false on cell style, so focus gets in its controls

                        <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellStyle>
                            <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
                                <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False"></Setter>
