I have a bunch of buttons on a form and when the person presses TAB I want the focus of the controls move in a specific order. Does anyone know how to do this?
If you have form with lots of control then manage tab index by below method:
Open form in design mode.
Click on “View” from toolbar --> “Tab Order” at bottom.
Example:
Then just click on controls one by one in order that you want to set tab order.
You can do this in the Designer as well, see Setting the TabIndex property of many form controls in Visual Studio?
Each item in your form-designer should have a TabIndex property.
Set the TabIndex in ascending order. (low-to-high)
Change the TabIndex property of your controls and enumerate them according to your need.

My client wants to have two separate tab lists on a form, but only one tab can be selected of the two tab lists. Can I create two TabControls to work like this? I.e. when one tab is selected at the first TabControl, the other should have all of their tabs deselected and vica versa.
EDIT:
This is what he imagined:
Based on your image, I believe you should use RadioButtons. That limits selection to only 1 button but you can put them wherever you want. Then you could have a container that populates based on which button is selected.
If I understand you correctly, you can put a tabcontrol(tabcontrol1) on a form. Add a tabpage for each set of pages you want to show.
On each tabpage, in tabcontrol1, add another tabcontrol and add however many pages you want in each.
To restrict access to a particular tab in tabcontrol1 set its enabled property to false;
Basically you'll end up with nested tabpages
Another option would be to create collections of tabpages that you could swap in and out of a single tabcontrol.
One way to get close to what you're pic shows is to use panels and put the tabcontrols inside them.
If you look at the pictures I want the white TextBox to be selected instead of the "Doorgaan" CommandButton. This is an userform. Does anyone know how I can change this?
How i want it :
How it is:
Depending how you want it to interact with the user, you can set different things.
If you don't want user to be able to Tab there then make the button property TabStop to False, otherwise change the order of the Tab by the property TabIndex.
Note you can manually "Activate" a control by the .SetFocus method in your code to make it the current activated control. e.g. TextBox1.SetFocus
You probably have the properties TabIndex = 0 for the Button and 1 for the TextBox. By default the control with the least TabIndex will have the focus. Just set TabIndex = 0 for the TextBox.
I am using the DatePicker control in the original WPF toolkit.
I am trying to remove the DatePicker from the tab order.
Setting properties like IsTabStop or TabIndex or KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop don't really work. Setting TabIndex to -1 for example removes it from the tab order until I reach the end of the tab order on my form and it cycles back to the beginning (which is the behavior I want). Once it has cycled the DatePicker is back in the tab order.
The problem seems to be that DatePicker encapsulates a TextBox which is the actual tab stop.
How can I set the IsTabStop property of DatePicker's TextBox in XAML?
This seems to do the trick:
KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="None"
I am working in Silverlight. In my Silverlight Application there is One Textbox and One Popup with Listbox.
When i Write any text in Textbox then my popup is open But i want to extend one more thing when i press Down Arrow Key that time i want to set focus in listbox item.
I have also try many thing and still i not getting any solution.
I also try this
int selectedIndex = lstRoot.SelectedIndex;
lstRoot.SelectedIndex = 0;
lstRoot.Focus();
lstRoot.SelectedIndex = selectedIndex;
Still focus is not set in lstRoot.
Please help me....!!
Try this.
lstRoot.SelectedItem = modelItem;
lstRoot.Focus();
Use ScrollViewer for scrolling Item and In Popup add Listbox for display items and you can easily set focus on listbox's item.
for eg.
lstRoot.Focus();
It through set focus on current scrolled item and easily up and down in listbox item.
I am developing desktop application using vb.net and vs2008.
I have a DropDownList that I don't want it interact with use when the info is locked.
But if I disable it, it is greyed out and the text is not easy to read.
Is there any way to make radiobutton like readonly textbox?
I want text of the DropDownList looks black and itself is not clickable.
The above shows a disabled DropDownList with greyed out text and a readonly textbox
Try this:
Enable="false"
Place it within your <asp:DropDownList> tag.
I recently encountered a similar issue. My solution was to remove all other values of the DropDownList except the one that is selected. This will keep the text as black as opposed to grey. Users will be able see the existing value and click it but will not be able to change it.
Hope this helps.
No, you can't use CSS in a desktop app. When you disable the dropdownlist by setting Disabled=true; or Enabled=false (whatever the case is), you can also change the Font properties to make it easier to read. You can set other properties such as Border, BorderStyle, etc, etc.
Keep the control enabled. In the GOTFOCUS event, use SENDKEYS to send a {tab} to the form. the user will not be able to change it! By the way, workt for ALL controls, that a user can focus.
