Remarks
The Backstage element defines the popup that appears when the user clicks the system button. This popup fills the entire area of the form. The left side of the backstage contains the buttons you've created while the right side contains pages. Buttons, when clicked, simply close the backstage and fire the OnCommand event. Pages, when clicked, display a page you've create. See the <Page> element for details on how to create a page.
Note: You have to have at least one page so that the right portion of the backstage is filled in.
