How do I simulate a Tab key press when Return is pressed in a WPF application?
protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(keyData.ToString());
switch (keyData)
{
case Keys.Enter:
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");
break;
}
base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData);
return false;
}
How about make SendKeys Class Working like Winforms.SendKeys

public static class SendKeys
{
public static void Send(Key key)
{
if (Keyboard.PrimaryDevice != null) {
if (Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource != null) {
var e1 = new KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource, 0, key) { RoutedEvent = Keyboard.KeyDownEvent };
InputManager.Current.ProcessInput(e1);
}
}
}
}
I think you should use that to simulate TAB :
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}");
Instead of
e.Key = Key.Tab

You can look at a post here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wpf/thread/c85892ca-08e3-40ca-ae9f-23396df6f3bd
Here's an example:
private void textBox1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
TraversalRequest request = new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next);
request.Wrapped = true;
((TextBox)sender).MoveFocus(request);
}
}
