Hi,

I'm trying to make my first fully working ribbon, but has come across
a problem.

I have the following XML for setting the backstage controls:

<backstage
<button idMso="FileSave" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<button idMso="FileSaveAs" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<button idMso="FileOpen" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<button idMso="FileClose" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<button idMso="ApplicationOptionsDialog"
getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<button idMso="FileExit" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabInfo" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabRecent" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabNew" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabPrint" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabShare" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabHelp" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabPublish" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabSave" getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
<tab idMso="TabOfficeStart"
getVisible="BackStage_GetVisible"/
</backstage

But it is as if the getVisible sub doesn't get executed?!?

All my other <Tab and <Button that uses 'getVisible' works fine,
but for some reason not the ones in 'BackStage'.

Any suggestions?

My understanding is that we can hide the built-in menuitems and replace
them with them our own. I also know we can 'hook' the built-in menus by
assigning our own "onaction" to them. But I haven't seen any examples
anywhere that show we can do to them what we do with custom menuitems
with the 'getvisible' property. I'm sure Ron deBrun can give you a
direct answer, though, if you contact him.
