Closing the backstage

Hello... I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do here.  Could you explain in a bit more detail?  Thanks!

Basicaly I have a listbox and when the user selects an item on it I want to leave the backstage. The listbox is a WPF listbox so it does not have the "StaysOpenOnClick" property (the list contains the Most recently items a user can choose from to open a document). The ribbon:button has that property and when I set it to false I see the backstage closing, when I set it to true I see that the backstage does not close. I want to do the same with the listbox/listboxitem.

Actually I am changing my approach. I decided I want to use the RecentDocumentMenu and RecentDocumentManager in my Backstage Recent tab instead of using my own control (which work fime except that I cannot close the backstage). But I need to use the MVVM pattern and I am not sure how the binding should look like. The example in Quickstart is not MVVM. Do you have anything of that sort you could share?

Hello,

Sorry we don't have anything that can be applied to ListBox or ListItems.  If you want to close the backstage programmatically though, just set Ribbon.IsApplicationMenuOpen = false.  Then you can use your original ListBox approach.

I decided to use the RecentDocumentMenu and Manager. Since it needed to look quite different from the default one I changed the template as needed. I have only one more thing to do. I like the pinning functionality but I would like to capture that event in my ViewModel. From the xaml I see that it the pin button executes

<Setter Property="Command" Value="{x:Static Input:RibbonCommands.TogglePin}" />.

I cannot change that, but I would like to register for a document pinned event so that I can do some processing. I have no clue on how to do that. Any suggestion?

We don't have an event for that but you could make an attached behavior.  Basically make an attached property and set that property in a Setter of that pin button.  Then in the property changed handler for the attached property attach to the click event of the target button and do your processing there.
