Put a textbox and RadRibbonBar on a form with enabled key map. Press Alt + 64. You should get "@" in the textbox. Instead, you get the key tips displayed. Workaround: public class MyRadRibbonBar : RadRibbonBar { protected override ComponentInputBehavior CreateBehavior() { return new MyRibbonBarInputBehavior(this); } public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadRibbonBar).FullName; } set { } } } class MyRibbonBarInputBehavior : RadRibbonBar.RibbonBarInputBehavior { public MyRibbonBarInputBehavior(RadRibbonBar owner) : base(owner) { } protected override bool SetInternalKeyMapFocus() { if ((this.Owner as RadRibbonBar).ContainsFocus) { return base.SetInternalKeyMapFocus(); } return false; } }
