_GUICtrlMenu_Recent() is for those that enjoy using GUICtrlCreateMenu() and would love to have the ability to have a "Recent" menu list with little to no fuss at all. The UDF contains only 7 functions and due to the design of the UDF, reading the recent menu item that was chosen is very easy indeed. Try the Example provided to get an idea of how it works.

Any suggestions or improvements then please post below. Thanks.

_GUICtrlMenu_Recent() is for those that enjoy using GUICtrlCreateMenu() and would love to have the ability to have a "Recent" menu list with little to no fuss at all. The UDF contains only 7 functions

I don't see any issue with my UDF (thankfully) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include '_GUICtrlMenu_Recen

This UDF has been re-written entirely from scratch and does away with the ugly Global variable that was being used to store the relevant information. I've opted for passing an array to the appropriate functions as a reference, so very little knowledge is required to know what is going on behind the scenes. Please see the example for more details on how to use this UDF. Thanks.

Wow, I really like this, great idea!!!

In my opinion all UDF that saves us the work of typing several lines of code is always welcome!

Thanks 4 sharing.

1. Look at _GUICtrlMenu_RecentCreate and the parameter $iTotal to set the number of items.

2. Thanks, see the original post for the addition. The function _GUICtrlMenu_RecentAdd has an additional boolean parameter for short text.

To all,

I have updated the UDF with the addition suggested by AZJIO to use short text e.g. 'C:Example...Test.au3' instead of the full path. Please see the original post for more details.

OK I will add an additional function later on today, something like _GUICtrlMenu_RecentParams(ByRef $aAPI, $iTotal, $fClearSelected = True) to adjust the size of the recent list and whether or not to clear the items upon selection.

OK AZJIO,

I have added the function _GUICtrlMenu_RecentTotal and updated the example with this new addition. I also fixed a pretty huge bug that would cause the UDF to crash, due to me not paying attention! Please see the original post for more details.

If this isn't what you are looking for could you explain more concisely please. Thanks.

$iMenuEntry = 0 - does not work properly.

For example, it was the last 15 files. Set 4 recent file, 11 list entries should be removed.

Items have to be shifted down

OK, this has now been fixed. I had to completely re-think my approach to this UDF.

Note: I have removed the $iMenuEntry as I found it pointless to be included.

_GUICtrlMenu_RecentIsInMenu do inside _GUICtrlMenu_RecentAdd

I won't do this for the simple fact that not everyone will use this for files, they could use it for data or something similar and I want to give a lot of control to the end user. Edited by guinness

I can sort of see your point, but I fail to come up with a situation where you'd want two identical menu entries for a "recent" list.

The other thing that is extremely important IMO is that an item opened either from the recent menu or via another method should be moved to the top of the recent items list, so just not adding if it's already there isn't enough, the item needs to be either added to the top with the bottom item popped off, or moved to the top if it already exists...

I was starting work on code to store and manage a recent files list in the registry when I figured I'd check to see if I was reinventing the wheel, I guess I'll continue as I think I prefer the recent items right in the File menu (like SciTE does it) rather than a sub menu.

By far, the worst four letter word (swear word) out there has to be USER

xrxca,

Neither can I, but I really don't want to limit the UDF for the user who might as they may use it as a timeline.

I will also have a look at your request in adding it to the top of the list instead.

Updated the UDF by moving the recently added option to the top instead of the bottom. I took your advice xrxca with regards to moving a previously added item to the top if re-selected.

Oh and it wasn't that difficult. In GUICtrlCreateMenuItem set the menu entry to 0.

I fixed a bug _GUICtrlMenu_RecentTotal when the size was less than the current total. I also updated the example too.
