title: WPF menu tab navigation
body: <p>I have a view with a menu:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Menu IsTabStop="False"&gt;
      &lt;MenuItem
          Header="_File"
          IsTabStop="True"&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="New / Start Over"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="Ctrl+N"
              Command="{x:Static common:Commands.StartOverCommand}" /&gt;
          &lt;Separator
              IsTabStop="False" /&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="Log Out"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="F12"
              Click="LogoutMenuItem_Click" /&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="E_xit"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="Alt+F4"
              Click="ExitMenuItem_Click" /&gt;
      &lt;/MenuItem&gt;
      &lt;MenuItem
          Header="_Edit"
          IsTabStop="True"&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="Undo Edit Field"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="Ctrl+Z"
              Click="_undoMenuItem_Click" /&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="Redo Edit Field"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="Ctrl+Y"
              Click="_redoMenuItem_Click" /&gt;
      &lt;/MenuItem&gt;
      &lt;MenuItem
          Header="_Tools"
          IsTabStop="True"&gt;
          &lt;MenuItem
              Header="Comments"
              IsTabStop="True"
              InputGestureText="Ctrl+M"
              Click="_commentsMenuItem_Click" /&gt;
      &lt;/MenuItem&gt;
  &lt;/Menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to navigate through the menus (File, Edit, Tools) by using the right and left arrow keys, which I was able to accomplish by making these <code>MenuItems IsTabStop="True"</code>. But since I did this I am able to tab to the menu as I cycle through the other valid fields on a page. When I use Alt+F to put focus on the File menu I want to be able to cycle through the 3 menus with the arrow keys, but I don't want to be able to tab to these menus from the page. How would I accomplish this?</p>
