RichTextBox: Keyboard commands are not working for controls inside InlineUIContainer

Keyboard commands are not working for controls inside the InlineUIContainer. The reason for this is that RichTextBox is handling them.
The commands are: Left, Right, Backspace, Delete, Tab, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V among others.

Workaround:
Attach custom event handler to the PreviewEditorKeyDown event of the RichTextBox. This event should set "e.SuppressDefaultAction = true" when the focus is in the InineUIContainer.

Hello Pawan,

I answered in the support ticket but am posting my reply here as well in case anyone else encounters the same question.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. For the TabNavigation to work you will need to handle the Tab key inside the PreviewEditorKeyDown event and set e.SuppressDefaultAction to true.

Hi Vladislav,

I am aware of TextBox's AcceptTab property, but I have button, Combobox, Datetimepicker, etc. inside the InLineUIContainer, so is there any way to handle the TabNavigation inside InlineUIConatainer.

Regards,

Pawan

Hello Pawan,

I'm glad that the workaround satisfies your needs.

As for the second part - you can set the AcceptsTab property of TextBox control to true. Additionally, if you would like to support inserting new lines in the text box, you can set the AcceptsReturn to true.

I hope this information is helpful.

Thanks for your workaround, it is working for Left, Right, Backspace, Delete, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, But controls are not following Tab order inside InlineUIContainer, the tab key press moves the focus and caret position to parent radrichtextbox.

Is there any workaround for Tab key as well?
