Question

I got a ListView in WPF with a GridView as view. I wanted to add textboxes to the column headings as filter mechanism. But when I set the cursor to the first column heading it does not tab to the next column heading textbox. Instead it goes to the next control after the ListView.

Here is the sample:

<ListView>
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridView.Columns>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <StackPanel>
                        <TextBlock>ABC</TextBlock>
                        <TextBox>YXZ</TextBox>
                    </StackPanel>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn>
                    <StackPanel>
                        <TextBlock>Spalte Nummer 2</TextBlock>
                        <TextBox></TextBox>
                    </StackPanel>
                </GridViewColumn>
            </GridView.Columns>
        </GridView>                    
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

How will I make the cursor to tab from the first column header textbox to the second column header textbox?

You should try setting TabIndex properties on your TextBox’es.

<TextBox TabIndex="0">YXZ</TextBox>

<TextBox TabIndex="1">Spalte Nummer 2</TextBox>

Edit: You should also set KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local" on your ListView.
