Hi,

I have been evaluating your ribbon control and have found it quite useful.

There is one feature I am looking for. If you look in ms word 2010’s Backstage view, there is an option "Save and Send". When you click it, it show a sub-menu like option. In the "sub-menu" say if you click "Send using Email", it shows more options.

I want to implement similar feature using elegant ribbon.

Here is what I tried. I added backstageview in the page in which i wanted this option. But it doesn’t show up in the page at runtime. Then I checked your forums and found this function:

backstageView1.SetStyleEx(ControlStylesEx.ChildrenUseHandle, true);

But, even that did not help.

Please advise how to implement this feature.

We haven’t yet decided about this feature. That and the date of releasing v.3.9 will be known after releasing v.3.8.

I have done the following

- There is one BackStageView (BSV) associated with the Application button.
- Other BSVs are embeded within the pages where they are required

By default, the child BSV wont show up when a page in the Main BSV is clicked. To make them show up, I call the "Show()" method for the child BSV. It then appears as expected.

I am glad you are working on the feature. I am not completely happy with above work-around and would be pleased to see this feature in the next release. When do you expect to release the version 3.9?

The feature you are requesting is implemented yet. The Backstage View self aggregation is not supported either. Alternatively you can place a navigation bar to the left of the backstage view page and leave the rest of the page for panels. You should switch panels when the user clicks buttons in the navigation. Take a look at the Controls demo to see how the navigation bar works. We will consider supporting this feature in the future 3.9 version. If you experience any problems implementing what we are suggesting, just let us know.
