Bypass Single Tab KeyTipAccess Mode - Ribbon for WPF Forum

Posted 10 years ago by Maashes Phillips

Version: 14.1.0601

Hi,

I have a single tab that is set as selected when the window opens. Is there a way, upon pressing the Alt key, to bypass the Tab's KeyTipMode and directly access and display the KeyTips for the ribbon buttons within the Tab?

For example: Pressing Alt accesses the KeyTipAccess text of D for the tab. Upon pressing D, the ribbon buttons' KeyTips are displayed. The functionality I desire is that pressing Alt immediately causes the ribbon buttons' KeyTips to display.

Hello,

Unfortunately the official Microsoft specs for Ribbon require that the Alt key focus the top-level Ribbon (so tabs, etc.) in terms of key tips when Alt is pressed. Since we adhere to their standards for licensing purposes, we don't have a way to alter that behavior. Note that if your tab's key tip is "D" then you can do Alt+D and it will focus that tab and show the key tips for the tab's buttons.
