1. make this function in CMainFrame

void CMainFrame::SetStartUp()
{

CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBar, GetCommandBars()->GetMenuBar());

CXTPControls* pControls = pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->GetControls();

//this control is "File" Control...

CXTPControlPopup* pControl = (CXTPControlPopup*)pControls->GetAt(0);

BOOL bSuccess = pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->GetCommandBar()->Popup(pControl);

//Clean up Tab Highlight
pRibbonBar->GetSelectedTab()->GetTabManager()->SetActive(FALSE);

There is a few ways:

// Set original default tab to false, then set new tab to true

CXTPRibbonBackstageView *pView = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageView, pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->GetCommandBar());

CXTPRibbonBackstageTab* pTab = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageTab, pView->GetControls()->FindControl(ID_BACKSTAGE_INFO));

pTab->SetItemDefault(FALSE);

pTab = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageTab, pView->GetControls()->FindControl(ID_BACKSTAGE_HELP));

pTab->SetItemDefault(TRUE);

CXTPControl* pButton = pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton();

pButton->OnClick(TRUE);

// Set Active Tab after you show backstage

CXTPControl* pButton = pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton();

pButton->OnClick(TRUE);

CXTPRibbonBackstageView *pView = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageView, pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->GetCommandBar());

CXTPRibbonBackstageTab* pTab = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CXTPRibbonBackstageTab, pView->GetControls()->FindControl(ID_BACKSTAGE_HELP));

pView->SetActiveTab(pTab);
