IsTabStop

[MiddleTommy]

When setting the RadExpander.IsTabStop to false the control still responds to tab

<t:RadExpander MaxWidth="350" MinWidth="350" IsTabStop="False" Margin="10" IsExpanded="True" Name="xDrawing">
                    <t:RadExpander.Header>
                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                            <TextBlock Text="DRAWING:" Width="55" Margin="0,5,20,2"/>
                            <t:RadButton x:Name="btnAddDwg" IsTabStop="False"  Content="+" Width="25" Height="20" Margin="10,0,0,5" ToolTip="Click to add a new Drawing to the current Job./nAlt D"  Click="btnAddDwg_Click" />
                            <t:RadButton x:Name="btnDeleteDwg" Content="-" IsTabStop="False" Width="25" Height="20" Margin="10,0,0,5" ToolTip="Remove Assembly" Click="btnDeleteDwg_Click"/>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </t:RadExpander.Header>
                <StackPanel>
                    <StackPanel Margin="3,3,3,3" Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <TextBlock Text="Drawing#" Margin="0,2,2,2"/>
                        <xcd:AutoSelectTextBox x:Name="txtdwgNo" Text="{Binding CurrentDrawing.dwgNo}" AutoSelectBehavior="OnFocus" Width="100" Margin="3,3,3,3" TextChanged="UCase_TextChanged"/>
                        <TextBlock Text="Date" Margin="20,2,2,2"/>
                        <xcd:AutoSelectTextBox x:Name="txtDate" Text="{Binding CurrentDrawing.dwgDate}" AutoSelectBehavior="OnFocus" Width="125" Margin="3,3,3,3"  TextChanged="UCase_TextChanged"/>

                        <TextBlock Text="Drawn By" Margin="0,2,2,2"/>
                        <xcd:AutoSelectTextBox x:Name="txtDrawnBy" AutoSelectBehavior="OnFocus" Text="{Binding CurrentDrawing.dwgBy}" Width="200" Margin="3,3,3,3"/>
                        <TextBlock Text="HOLD" Margin="20,2,2,2"/>
                        <xcd:CheckBox Name="chkDWGHold" Margin="3,3,3,3" IsChecked="{Binding CurrentDrawing.hold}"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </StackPanel>
            </t:RadExpander>

TabStop should still work for internal controls unless IsExpanded = false;

Hello Tommy,

For the next major(Q) release, we will invest more time in improving our controls' keyboard navigation. For your particular scenario, you can edit the ControlTemplate of RadExpader and set IsTabStop="False" to the button called HeaderButton. I have attached a sample project demonstrating this functionality. Have a look at it and let me know how it works for you.

Hello Kiril,

I've run into the same problem where I do not want the tabbing to stop on the RadExapnder. I downloaded the attachment you had but it still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to set IsTabStop=False on a RadExpander and make it work? Setting this even in the template apparently is not working as well.

Thanks!
Evan

Hello Evan ,

 Please try your scenario with the RadControls from Q1 2012 SP (0326) that we released this Monday. The IsTabStop of the HeaderButton in the Expander's Template is now bound to the IsTabStop of the Expander.
This should have fixed your scenario.
