Tab Order for Controls on Ribbon

Postby KodeKrazy » Sat Aug 02, 2008 1:34 am

Is there a way to create a "Tab Order" for the controls used on the Krypton Ribbon? On the Text Boxes I noticed a property called Accepts Tab, but that is not what I am looking for. Barring that, what if any solution is there to allow a user to iterate through the controls on the Ribbon?

TIA,

The tabbing should move through the order of controls in the same order than happens when you use ALT and then TAB around them.

When I press TAB from my first/default text box on my RibbonControl, focus moves from the text box control to the first visible column of the DGV control, not the next control on the Ribbon. Subsequent TAB key presses simply move through the DGV column by column and row by row. How can my users use the TAB key to navigate the controls on the Ribbon.

Help!

The controls on the ribbon should not be part of the form level tab order. If you click a control on the ribbon that takes focus then pressing tab takes you back to the main area of the form and does not come back. This is the way I intended it to work. To tab around the ribbon bar you need to use ALT to set focus into the ribbon and then use TAB.
