I have a WPF business line application with a tabbed userinterface, menus and toolbars. The application must be navigable through a keyboard, some users like to minimize mouse use.

I have thrown together the included XAML sample to illustrate the problem of keyboard navigation. Using the tab key I can only get to the menu, and then to the toolbar. I have tried various attached properties for KeyboardNavigation and FocusManager, but I have not succeeded in the following goals:

1. Navigate to the contents of the first tabpage using the keyboard.
2. Disable tab key navigation from tabpage to menu and toolbar.

3. Change tabpage using Ctrl-Tab.
