  Within our application, I would like to disable a BackstageViewTab (in my case called BViewTabUtil) from being accessible. I am able to do this with:

  BViewTabUtil.Enabled = False

  Later, I re-enable it with:

  BViewTabUtil.Enabled = True

  At this point, although the Tab appears enabled in the backstage view, it does not function correctly. Clicking on it does not load the Control into the right-hand panel, and the backstage view enters an odd state where multiple tabs are selected (see screenshot). Exiting the backstage view via the back button and then re-opening it results in the control being loaded/visible in the right-hand panel.

  Is there something needed beyond toggling the .Enabled parameter? I have tried detaching and reattaching the .Control to the BackstageViewTab with no success.

  Hi,

  We are unable to replicate this issue at our end.
  
  Could you please provide some more information? When you are enabling and disabling the BackStageViewTab?
  
  We have created a sample in which we can disable and enable a BackStageView item and it’s working without any issue at our end.
  
  Please refer the attached sample: BackStageView.zip

  Could you please provide a sample or update the attached sample? So, that we can assist you accordingly.

  Best Regards,
  
  Nitin

  I was able to reproduce the issue in your code sample by doing the following.

  First, increase the delay time on re-enabling (I did 10 seconds):

  await Task.Delay(10000);

  Then:

  • Run application
  • Go to Utility tab
  • Click button to disable/enable Home Item

  Within the next 10 seconds:

  • Use back arrow to exit backstage view
  • Return to backstage view

  After the 10 seconds elapses, the Home tab becomes enabled again. But, clicking on it does not load the control into the right-hand panel and now both tabs are selected. Backstage view is now in a weird state and the only way to get to the Home tab is hiding/reopening backstage.
