You need to specify default item and then show backstage: Dim ControlInfo As RibbonBackstageTab Set ControlInfo = BackstageView.AddTab(1000, "Info", pageBackstageInfo.hwnd) ControlInfo.DefaultItem = True RibbonBar.SystemButton.Execute

this makes sense. But what if I want to show a different backstage tab to the default one? Taking the Active X ribbon sample for example, on the default backstage tab (the help/info tab), there is an "options" button. The options are on a different backstage tab. The example doesn't include the code for this to button to open up the other backstage tab, so I tried to work it out for myself. But I can't get anything to work.  |

Did you manage to find a solution Oatleyn?? I've hit the same problem. I have 5 tabs the first tab is the default tab and when it opens up the first tab is activated. But under certain circumstances I want to programtically activate the third tab. At the moment I'm having to set the third tab to be the default tab (which I dont want it to be), close the backstage view and then activate it again, then set the first tab to be the default again..... Very cludgey and even though it works it doesn't look great as the view seems to flash as your closing and reopening. |
