To reproduce:
1. Add a RadCommandBar with a CommandBarButton.
2. Add a RadDateTimePicker, a RadMultiColumnComboBox, a ComboBox, a DateTimePicker. Subscribe to their Validating event.
3. Add a shortcut for the CommandbarButton:
Me.CommandBarButton1.ShowKeyboardCues = True
Me.CommandBarButton1.UseMnemonic = True
Me.CommandBarButton1.Shortcuts.Add(New RadShortcut(Keys.Alt, Keys.F))
Note that when you focus one of the added controls in 2. and press Alt+F, the CommandBarButton.Click event is fired, but the Validating event for the previously focused control is not fired. This behavior is not observed for RadButton for example.
Workaround:
Public Class Form1
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, keyData As Keys) As Boolean
Select Case keyData
Case (Keys.Alt Or Keys.F)
CommandBarButton1.Focus()
CommandBarButton1.PerformClick()
Exit Select
End Select
End Class
