Please refer to the attached gif file and sample project. The keyboard navigation is enabled for the items in RadCheckedListBox. However, if you press "N" (without pressing ALT) it doesn't select an item starting with "N" but selects the text box since the RadLabel's mnemonic key is "N". Workaround: Public Class MyLabel Inherits RadLabel Protected Overrides Function ProcessMnemonic(charCode As Char) As Boolean If Not (Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Alt) <> Keys.Alt Then Return False End If Return MyBase.ProcessMnemonic(charCode) End Function End Class
