Hot Key for RadTabItem

[Kam]

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,
