    Hello Tom,
    From what I gather, you want to substitute the default WPF Report Designer's application menu with the Backstage View. To achieve this, customize the ApplicationMenu through the ribbon template. You will find it here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 15.1\Components\Sources\DevExpress.Xpf.ReportDesigner\DevExpress.Xpf.WpfReportDesigner\Themes\RibbonTemplate.xaml.
    Please check the attached sample application and let me know if I can be of further help.

    Regards

        Hello Tom,
        Just want to follow up with you: our developers have fixed this issue so BackstageViewControl takes the entire window area. You are welcome to test our changes once a hotfix or official release is available and leave your feedback.

        Take special note of the BackstageViewControl.IsFullScreen option, which sets whether or not the control occupies the entire client area of the application window.

        Thanks

          HI, I have Implemented the hotfix now, however, I have found that there is no datacontext to the backstage so I am unable to bind via element name or relative source to my view model.
