Hi,
As I understand, tab navigation in ribbon is available only after Alt key is pressed. Is there a way to turn this mode from code? I have some TextBox controls in ribbon group and I want user to be able to navigate between them using keyboard.
Thanks
Hello Anton Golovanov,
Currently XamRibbon does not have a method that can activate a tab navigation (displaying the keytips).
I am not completely sure what your requirement is, but if you want to turn on the Alt key in code, SendKeys.SendWait could be used but System.Windows.Forms assembly should be added into the project.
If your requirement is that Alt is not allowed in your application, as an alternative, pressing F10 displays the keytips.
Please take a look at the attached sample and let me know if I have misunderstood your requirement.
Hi Martin,
What I want to do is to have a shortcut (let's say F3) that will move focus to first TextBox in Ribbon and then automatically allow tab navigation between controls in that RibbonGroup.
Hello Anton,
After working on the functionality that you are trying to achieve and doing some research, the ability to automatically allow tab navigation in XamRibbon has been determined to be a new product idea.

You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!• [CASE: “Reference case [case number], FORUMS: “Include a link to this thread”] in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case.

Hello Martin,
I was able to workaround this by putting TextBox controls inside UserControl and moving keyboard focus manually in KeyDown event handler for Tab and Ctrl-Tab keys.
I guess we can close this thread.
Regards
I am glad that you have found a workaround. I believe other users will benefit from it.
