Hello,

I had some troubles with the behavior of the RadTabControl with 2010 Q3. This has improved with 2011 Q1, or maybe I just got better at handling the Telerik controls. But it still behaves strangely when I set the TabIndex of the controls within the TabItems.

In the small example above the focus moves from the TextBox with "Text1" to that with "Text2" then to the one with "Text3" and only then to the TabItem with "Header 1", although that has a lower TabIndex and should come first. If I remove the TabIndex property from the controls within the TabItems the behavior is as expected and the focus is on the header before it is on "Text2".

In this simple example it doesn't really matter of course, the TabIndex property is not needed for correct movement within the TabItems. In all the cases I can think of right now the position of the control within the xaml code should be sufficient to ensure the right order. There may however be some situation requiring TabIndices and then they should work correctly.

Hello Schokoolero50,

The RadTabControl doesn't work as expected in such situations. We logged this issue in our PITS (TabControl: Setting TabIndex on a controls in the tabItem`s content doesn't work as expected) where you will be able to view its status and vote for. We also updated your telerik points. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Petar,

I couldn't find the PITS entry last week, but now I found it and voted for it.
As for the Telerik points, my account still tells me that I have 0 of them.
How long does it usually take until I can see the points in my account?
