I have created a web part with contextual buttons in SharePoint 2010.
The web part is added to a home page of a site. The idea here is that I get some Quick-start buttons to custom functions on the home page. Functionality is not the issue since that's already working.
The problem I am facing is this. When the site loads, the web part is visible, but only the breadcrum links are visible not the custom ribbon.
To get my ribbon buttons active I have to click on the web part and then the ribbon buttons will be visible and working.
I can't get the web part to be activated on the page load. You Always have to click it first.
I tried to get it by setting the checkbox to be checked on page load, wich works but the the ribbon is not there. I still need to click in the web part.
Is this at all possible ? If so how do I get this to work?
