Hi,

I am using the Ribbon Backstage and I need that clicking on a button that belongs to on of the backstage dialogs will cause the tabs area to be active (and not the backstage).

How can I do it ?

This is also an issue for me; I'm working on it currently. I'll let you know if I solve it.

That didn't take long; haha! I looked in the source of the CXTPRibbonBackstageView class, and saw that it had an OnCancel() handler which just looks like this:

void CXTPRibbonBackstageView::OnCancel()
{
	SetTrackingMode(FALSE);
}

Since SetTrackingMode() is the function that does what we want, and is private/protected, I think the best way to trigger this is as follows:

1. Maintain a pointer to the CXTPRibbonBackstageView in your page classes;

2. When you want to 'close' the backstage, do the following:

m_pView->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(IDCANCEL, 0));

This worked for me!
