Detailed Description

The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).

wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxFileHistory::wxFileHistory ( size_t  maxFiles = 9,
wxWindowID  idBase = wxID_FILE1 
)

Constructor.

Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and displayed.

idBase defaults to wxID_FILE1 and represents the id given to the first history menu item. Since menu items can't share the same ID you should change idBase (to one of your own defined IDs) when using more than one wxFileHistory in your application.

virtual wxFileHistory::~wxFileHistory ( )
virtual

Destructor.

virtual void wxFileHistory::RemoveFileFromHistory ( size_t  i)
virtual

Removes the specified file from the history.

virtual void wxFileHistory::RemoveMenu ( wxMenu menu)
virtual

Removes this menu from the list of those managed by this object.
