Backstage view buttons created for a dashboard designer at design time do not execute associated commands

created 4 days ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a fresh project
  2. Drag-and-drop DashboardDesigner from VS Toolbox on a form
  3. Use the designer's smart tag to create a ribbon
  4. Launch the application
  5. Open the backstage view and click on the Open menu item

Expected results:

The open file dialog is shown

Current results:

Nothing happens

Additional information:

Backstage items are not associated with the designer in this usage scenario. Manually assign their hidden DashboardDesigner property as a workaround:

C#
dashboardBackstageOpenButton1.DashboardDesigner = dashboardDesigner1;
