BackstageSeparatorItem Class

In This Article

Declaration

Visually separates backstage items.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Ribbon

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Ribbon.v14.2.dll

#Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public class BackstageSeparatorItem :
    BackstageItemBase

#Remarks

The BackstageSeparatorItem displays a line that separates neighboring backstage items. This separation improves visual perception and increases BackstageViewControl readability. If you want to place a BackstageSeparatorItem inside a BackstageViewControl, add a new instance of the BackstageSeparatorItem to the BackstageViewControl's Items collection. To do this via XAML, place a BackstageSeparatorItem class object between the opening and the closing tags of the BackstageViewControl. See the example below to learn more.

#Examples

Imagine you want to create a BackstageViewControl with a button, a tab item and a separator item between them, as seen in the following figure:

DXRibbon backstageViewControl items adding

To add these items via a XAML markup, define new BackstageButtonItem, BackstageTabItem and BackstageSeparatorItem class objects between the opening and closing tags of a BackstageViewControl. When an end-user selects the tab item, a label and two radio buttons should be displayed at the right of BackstageViewControl. To add multiple items as a tab item's content, define a container, place these items inside of it and initialize the ControlPane property with this container. In this example, a Grid container is used. The button item's BackstageItemBase.Click event is used to respond to an end-user clicking this button.

XAML

    <dxr:BackstageViewControl  Name ="myViewControl" DisableDefaultBackgroundGlyph="False">
        <dxr:BackstageButtonItem Content="Open last file" Margin ="0,0,0,10" Name="cmdOpen" Click="cmdOpen_Click"/>
        <dxr:BackstageSeparatorItem/>
        <dxr:BackstageTabItem Name="optionsTab" Margin="0,10,0,0" Content="Options">
