2
3 The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the
4 list of most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
5
6 wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be required
7 in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on each MDI child menu
8 as well as the MDI parent frame.

25
26 \member{char**}{m\_fileHistory}
27
28 A character array of strings corresponding to the most recently opened
29 files.

31 \membersection{wxFileHistory::m\_fileHistoryN}
32
33 \member{size_t}{m\_fileHistoryN}
34
35 The number of files stored in the history array.
36
37 \membersection{wxFileHistory::m\_fileMaxFiles}
38
39 \member{size_t}{m\_fileMaxFiles}

50
51 \func{}{wxFileHistory}{\param{size_t}{ maxFiles = 9}, \param{wxWindowID}{ idBase = wxID_FILE1}}
52
53 Constructor. Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and displayed.
54
55 idBase defaults to wxID_FILE1 and represents the id given to the first history menu item.
56 Since menu items can't share the same ID you should change idBase (To one of your own
57 defined IDs) when using more than one wxFileHistory in your application.

67
68 \func{void}{AddFileToHistory}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
69
70 Adds a file to the file history list, if the object has a pointer to an appropriate file menu.
71
72 \membersection{wxFileHistory::AddFilesToMenu}\label{wxfilehistoryaddfilestomenu}
73
74 \func{void}{AddFilesToMenu}{\void}
75
76 Appends the files in the history list, to all menus managed by the file history object.

100 \membersection{wxFileHistory::Load}
101
102 \func{void}{Load}{\param{wxConfigBase\& }{config}}
103
104 Loads the file history from the given config object. This function should be called explicitly by the application.
