Disable TabStop on Expander


I set IsTabStop to False, but Tab still navigates to the expander.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

<Expander Header="Data" IsTabStop="False">
    <Border Background="White" BorderThickness="0"/>
</Expander>

Solution

  • It looks like a bug in the Expander template:

    Here's a full workaround (ugly, I know):
