Answer 1

You can use KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation and KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex to achieve this.

Example :

<ContentControl Content="{Binding Head}" x:Name="HeadCtrl" Height="50" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource VectorTemplate}"/>

 <DataTemplate x:Key="VectorTemplate">
    <StackPanel KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local" KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="-1">
         <Button Content="{Binding Path=X}" KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="0" ></Button>
         <Button Content="{Binding Path=Y}" KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="1" ></Button>
    </StackPanel>
 </DataTemplate>

Answer 2

what I can understand is to set the Tab order of the usercontrol that you are adding at runtime. How about doing this

 var usercontrol = new UserControl1();
 usercontrol.TabIndex = 0;
 ContentControl1.Content = usercontrol;
