Is it possible to fill a CXTPTaskPanel with LinkItems and then let the keyboard select one of the items?

Thanks,
Jeff

Yes, CXTPTaskPanel has a nice keyboard control. You can <tab> through the items and select (open) an item with <space>.

Then I must be doing something wrong. I have a CXTPTaskPanel with a couple of controls in it, and then a number of LinkItems. It lives in a CXTPDockingPane so I override PreTranslateMessage and call IsDialogMessage to get keyboard navigation between controls. I can tab between my controls, but not to any of the LinkItems.

I guess the keyboard navigation with PreTranslateMessage/IsDialogMessage conflicts with the internal CXTPTaskPanel navigation. Maybe Oleg can help here.

I created the same problem with a simple dialog application that has a CXTPTaskPanel inside of it, along with the OK and Cancel buttons. Inside the taskPanel I have a group that contains an edit control and some other groups containing linkItems.

If I create the taskPanel with the extended style WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT then the tabbing includes the dialogs buttons and the edit control. If I remove WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT then the tabbing includes the buttons and the items inside the taskPanel.

How can I include both the edit control and the linkItems?
