Hello Triet Nguyen Cong,

The RadOutlookBar doesn't implement this scenario. However, I added this item in PITS where you can vote for it. If it gathers enough popularity, we will definitely consider implementing it.

In the meantime you can handle the RadOutlookBar KeyDown() event and try something like this:

if (e.Key == Key.Tab)
{
   outlookbar.SelectedIndex++;
}

Hi,
i hope this issue will be fixed in next version.
Because, I applied this code but it's not stable.
I think, we can use arrow key(Top- Down) to move between other OutLookItems and Tab key to focus within for more detail

Hello Triet Nguyen Cong,

Thank you for your feedback. By design the RadOutlookBar doesn't support KeyNavigation. However, we are always open for feedback and suggestions and we will definitely consider implementing the functionality if it gathers enough popularity.

Best wishes,

Hello Triet Nguyen Cong,

As it is not in the plan for the next releases, is it acceptable for you to use the approach I suggested several posts above. We will see how we can fit this in the plan, however, we cannot commit to a certain timeframe at this stage.
I believe that the suggested approach will do the job for you and enable you to navigate via the keys.

Kind regards,
