Remarks

If this property is set to true a tabbed group’s header can receive focus through the TAB key or when it’s clicked by a mouse. When a tab page header is focused, pressing the Left and Right Arrow buttons allows an end-user to iterate through tab pages.

If the AllowFocusTabbedGroups property is set to false , the headers of tabbed groups cannot be focused.

Note that if both the AllowFocusTabbedGroups and OptionsFocus.AllowFocusControlOnActivatedTabPage properties are set to true clicking a tab page header moves focus to the header, but not to the first focusable control within the tab page. If the CTRL+TAB shortcut is pressed within a tab page the following tab page is opened. Its header, however, is not focused even if the AllowFocusTabbedGroups property is set to true.
