Shift-tabbing problem

[Bill]

When using KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop="true" in a RadMaskedInput textbox, you cannot shift-tab out of the control.
If I remove that it shift tabs OK.

Is that a bug?

Hello Bill,

Thank you for reporting this issue - we can confirm that this is a bug. This is why I logged it in our PITS where you can track its progress and vote for it in order to prioritize it.

I also updated your Telerik account for bringing it to our attention.

Is there a recommended work around for this issue until fixed?

Hi Pete,

As the RadMaskedInput controls allow tab navigation  out-of-the-box, you don't have to explicitly set the IsTabStop property. So as a workaround you can just remove the IsTabStop settings - this will allow you to tab through the controls both forward with the Tab key and backwards with the Shift+Tab keys.

Also, if you need to control the TabNavigation behavior of the MaskedInput controls, you can use the SectionsNavigationMode  property - this article can give you more info on the property and its values.

All the best,

Hello Tina,

we have the same issue with numeric and datetime controls. But I can't follow your link to PITS.

The workaround with "<Setter Property="KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation" Value="Continue"/>" doesn't work.

Do you already have a fix for it ?

Best regards

Oliver

Hello Torsten,

Could you confirm that the workaround suggested by Tina with removing the the IsTabStop property does not work. I just checked and the forward and backward tab navigation worked as she described it.

As for the PITS issue, we migrated to a newer feedback portal and I believe the issue you referred to is this one.
