Given the following:

  • setting IsTabStop to false on a ContentControl will not prevent its content from acting as a tab-stop
  • setting IsTabStop to true will result in an invisible tab-stop, which does nothing, in your application

I have the following two questions:

  1. Why is IsTabStop true by default for the ContentControl
  2. Why would I ever want the ControlControl to act as a tab-stop?

    Douglas is correct ContentControl simply inherits the default value of IsTabStop from Control. Also there is no good reason to assume that the value of true is less valid for a ContentControl than it is for Control.

    For example, you might have a control that expects its content be something graphical such a set of Shape elements or an Image. However your control may perform certain operations on the content when the user presses specific keys.
