Anyone know how to do this? I have several ribbon tabs on my ribbon bar control. I want to automatically set focus to one of the ribbon tabs based on interaction elsewhere in my application. There doesn't seem to be an obvious method to select one of the ribbon tabs as the currently selected one.

Ok, found it myself.
RibbonTab.IsSelected = true;
This applies focus. This seems a bit unorthodox. I would have assumed a method such as RibbonTab.Select() be used instead.

Not only would i have expected the object to have a method to indicate selection, i'd have expected some type of property or method from the parent as well:
myRadRibbonTab.Selected() ' Tell's the parent Ribbon Tab i'm the one selected thus setting the tab
-or-
myRadRibbonBar.SelectedTab() = myRadRibbonTab ' Sets the Tab

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for writing.
You can specify which tab is selected by setting the IsSelected property to true for the desired RibbonTab. Alternatively, you can change the selected tab at control level as well by setting the RadRibbonBar.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.SelectedItem property:
I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hello
You can use this code
this.ribbonTab3.IsSelected = true;
this.ribbonTab3.Owner.Focus();
this.radRibbonBar1.Refresh();

Hello Mahmoud,
Thank you for writing.
Indeed, this is a valid solution in case you would like to focus on the tab strip, otherwise setting the IsSelected property of the ribbon tab is enough.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need additional information.

Try this
this.ribbon1.ActiveTab = this.ribbonTab1;

Hi, Yuji,
RadRibbonBar from the Telerik UI for WinForms suite doesn't offer ActiveTab property. If you need to select a tab, feel free to use the RibbonTab.IsSelected property.
