WPF handle shortcut inside TabControl (CTRL+F search)

Question

I need to handle Ctrl+F keys combo to invoke search function inside my TabControl.

OnKeyDown() called for each button pressed, but how I can handle combination of two buttons?

Check Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftCtrl) (and right). However you should use command binding for this — Adriano Repetti, Jan 25 '16 at 15:21

Just put this in your xaml :

<Window.InputBindings>
 <KeyBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.YourCommandToHandle"
       Gesture="CTRL+F" />
</Window.InputBindings>

My Window have 3 tabs, I need this shortcut only on one of them. Is it possible? – Constantine Jan 25 '16 at 16:02
Yes indeed you can. I can see two solution to my mind. You can make a binding between your SelectedItem in your TabControl and CanExecute in your Command through a converter. Else you can put a condition on the SelectedItem in your Command (by its key or what so ever), but it's not really MVVM. – Vasilievski Jan 25 '16 at 16:56
