How to skip WPF DataGrid cell focus and go to control inside it?

In a WPF project I have a button in a DataGridCell. When I press tab it will focus the cell first and then the button inside this cell. How can I skip cell focus?

The columns are dynamic and I don't know which column has a button or textbox.

Since a button in a DataGrid is none of the standard column types, I suppose you're already using the DataGridTemplateColumn.

Additionally to the DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate, set the DataGridTemplateColumn.CellStyle with a style to set the DataGridCell.IsTabStop property to False:

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridCheckBoxColumn Binding="{Binding IsChecked}" Header="CheckBoxColumn" />
        <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Text}" Header="TextColumn" />
        <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="ButtonColumn">
            <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Button Content="Text" />
                </DataTemplate>
            </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
            <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellStyle>
                <Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
                    <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
                </Style>
            </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellStyle>
        </DataGridTemplateColumn>
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
