To reproduce: run the application. On the first DocumentWindow there is a UserControl with a wizard. Pressing the Tab key will navigate the command buttons. On the second DocumentWindow there is a similar wizard which is NOT hosted in a UserControl. Workaround: Currently, you can override the ProcessDialogKey method of RadWizard and handle the Tab key where you can perform the desired logic, e.g. select a specific control: public class MyWizard : RadWizard { protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData) { if (keyData == Keys.Tab) { WizardPage page = this.SelectedPage; page.ContentArea.Controls[0].Focus(); return false; } return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData); } }
