Prism Region within RadRibbonView.Backstage

[Trystan]

Hi,

I want to add RadRibbonBackstageItems to the backstage using a mixture of prism regions and xaml.  The problem is, I want the region to be between some of the backstage items added in xaml.  I can set a region name on the RadRibbonBackstage and add items to it using the region manager, but the items always appear at the end after the items specified in xaml.

I tried adding an items control within the RadRibbonBackstage to act as  a place holder (and gave this a region name) but it looks like a backstage item itself when it renders, and its content renders on the right hand backstage panel (where the item content should be).

I guess I can add all of the RadRibbonBackstageItems via prism and order them using the view sort hint attribute, but it would be nice if I could use a mixture of xaml and prism.  I managed to do this on the application menu using an items control as a placeholder but it doesn't work on the backstage.

Thanks

Hi Trystan,

You can implement your scenario by introducing a custom RegionAdapter for the RadRibbonBackstage. It will allow you to insert the PRISM modules as BackstageItems in custom positions in the Backstage control based on your requirements.

I attached a sample solution where I introduces a Position property in the BackstageItemModule so that I can use it to add its BackstageItem view in a predefined position in the BackstageMenu. I hope this will help you get started on your task.

Kind regards,
