the filter selects the wxDocTemplate, and when
a file is selected, that template will be used for creating a document

+and view.
For the case where an application has one document type and one view type,
a single document template is constructed, and dialogs will be appropriately
to derive from it to allow different behaviour, such as popping up a scrolling
list of files.
-By calling wxFileHistory::FileHistoryUseMenu you can associate a file menu with

-appended using menu identifiers in the range wxID\_FILE1 to wxID\_FILE9.
+By calling \helpref{wxFileHistory::UseMenu()}{wxfilehistoryusemenu} you can

In order to respond to a file load command from one of these identifiers,
you need to handle them using an event handler, for example:
