Element Binding in RibbonView Backstage

[Voltz]

we've tried implementing a radgridview which synchronizes with a data form thru element binding within a backstage item of the ribbonview and found it now working. so we tested a simple textbox to textblock element binding and it still does not work.

something like this:

<telerikRibbon:RadRibbonBackstageItem Header="Recent" IsDefault="True">
     <StackPanel Margin="15 15 0 0">
          <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=testtext, Path=Text}"/>
          <TextBox x:Name="testtext" />
     </StackPanel>
</telerikRibbon:RadRibbonBackstageItem>

we are using the Q2 version if it helps.

thanks

Hi Voltz,

This appears to be a bug in the WPF implementation of the RadRibbonBackstage, because the backstage is inserted in the AdornerLayer of the top level visual element and this is causing the ElementName binding to fail. We will need more time to investigate this issue, so I have created an item called "RibbonView: ElementName binding is not working in RadRibbonBackstage" and it will be ready for tracking and voting tomorrow the latest. I have updated your Telerik points.

Kind regards,

Hi, Viktor.

It seems that this issue is still reproducible. 

<RadioButton Name="RbOnline" Content="Online" />
<TextBox IsEnabled="{Binding Path=IsChecked,  ElementName=RbOnline}" />

ElementName binding is not working in RadRibbonBackstage

Thanks,
Yuriy
