Hi,

I have a modal dialog that opens another modal dialog. Both are used as data collection pages. On the initial dialog I can use the tab key to navigate from on input control to next without a problem. In the second one though, when I try to tab from one input control to the next the cursor goes to the address filed of the web browser.

I have tried this using the setting: EnableKeyboardNavigation being set to ture as well as false and it does not appear to make a difference. Presently, the second dialog is not ested within the content template of the first. Does it need to be or is there something else I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

Gary

Hi,

You can try to set your control's tabIndex. The dialog tries to prevent you from tabbing into controls that are behind the dialog, but it does not prevent you from tabbing into the address bar (because sometimes user does want to tab into the address bar), nor does it change the tab order for you.

Dialog ignores EnableKeyboardNavigation property. The property is mainly used by navigation controls (Menu, TreeView, etc) and Grid.

Thanks!
