I am using RecentDocumentManager and everything works great. Some of the documents can be moved/removed from disk, so when I try to open them and I can't find them, I ask the user if they need to be removed from the RecentDocumentManager and I do it. All and all everything is good EXCEPT, I do not want to switch from BackStage. If a document is not available, I want to STAY in Backstage and cancel this automatic switching? it is just simply in a BackStageTab.
Hi Hamid,
The Ribbon ButtonBase's OnPreviewClick handler will close popups when the button is clicked unless the Button's StaysOpenOnClick property is set to true. Since your company licenses WPF Studio, take a look at the Menu.xaml file in the default Ribbon styles/templates. Look at the RecentDocumentMenu Style and you'll see several places where ItemTemplate is set based on the context. You can update the buttons there to set StaysOpenOnClick="True" and then if you do successfully open a new document, be sure to close the Backstage if it isn't still auto-closing.
Great! I saw the StaysOpenOnClick="True" but could not get to that Button and was not sure what the ItemTemplate was, but you are right, I do have the Styles, etc so I can just overwrite/add that in there. Seems reasonable and I should be able to find it.
Thank you.
Tried it and works great, i just have to close it myself on a successful 'Open', which I already had an AttachedProperty for other things.
