RibbonControl supports displaying the Office2007-like Application Menu as well as the Backstage View that is available in Office2010 and higher. In this example, we demonstrated how to create a Backstage View. It's presented by BackstageViewControl. To learn more on how to use this control, please refer to the Backstage View documentation page.
Please note that BackstageViewControl can be displayed in two modes:
- The control occupies the entire client area.
![]()
- The client area is not fully occupied, and the ribbon page headers remain visible.
![]()
By default, the display mode depends on the selected theme. To switch it manually, use the BackstageViewControl.IsFullScreen property.
