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.

+\membersection{wxFileHistory::wxFileHistory}\label{wxfilehistoryctor}
+
+\func{}{wxFileHistory}{\param{size\_t}{ maxFiles = 9}, \param{wxWindowID}{ idBase = wxID\_FILE1}}
+
+Constructor. Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and
+displayed.
+
+{\it 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.
-Constructor. Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and displayed.
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::\destruct{wxFileHistory}}
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::\destruct{wxFileHistory}}\label{wxfilehistorydtor}
\func{}{\destruct{wxFileHistory}}{\void}
Destructor.
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::AddFileToHistory}
+
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::AddFileToHistory}\label{wxfilehistoryaddfiletohistory}
\func{void}{AddFileToHistory}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
Adds a file to the file history list, if the object has a pointer to an appropriate file menu.

-\func{void}{FileHistoryLoad}{\param{const wxString\& }{resourceFile}, \param{const wxString\& }{sectionName}}
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::AddFilesToMenu}\label{wxfilehistoryaddfilestomenu}
-Loads the file history from a resource file, using the given section. This must be called
-explicitly by the application.
+\func{void}{AddFilesToMenu}{\void}\label{wxfilehistoryaddfilestomenu}
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::FileHistorySave}
+Appends the files in the history list, to all menus managed by the file history object.
-\func{void}{FileHistorySave}{\param{const wxString\& }{resourceFile}, \param{const wxString\& }{sectionName}}
+\func{void}{AddFilesToMenu}{\param{wxMenu*}{ menu}}
-Saves the file history into a resource file, using the given section. This must be called
-explicitly by the application.
+Appends the files in the history list, to the given menu only.
+
+
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::GetHistoryFile}\label{wxfilehistorygethistoryfile}
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::FileHistoryUseMenu}
+\constfunc{wxString}{GetHistoryFile}{\param{size\_t}{ index}}
-\func{void}{FileHistoryUseMenu}{\param{wxMenu* }{menu}}
+Returns the file at this index (zero-based).
-Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for convenient
-access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer enables the history
-list functionality.
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::GetMaxFiles}
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::GetMaxFiles}\label{wxfilehistorygetmaxfiles}
-\func{int}{GetMaxFiles}{\void}
+\constfunc{size\_t}{GetMaxFiles}{\void}
Returns the maximum number of files that can be stored.
-\membersection{wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles}
-\func{int}{GetNoHistoryFiles}{\void}
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::GetCount}\label{wxfilehistorygetcount}
+
+\constfunc{size\_t}{GetCount}{\void}
Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::Load}\label{wxfilehistoryload}
+
+\func{void}{Load}{\param{wxConfigBase\& }{config}}
+
+Loads the file history from the given config object. This function should be called explicitly by the application.
+

+
+\helpref{wxConfig}{wxconfigbase}
+
+
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::RemoveMenu}\label{wxfilehistoryremovemenu}
+
+\func{void}{RemoveMenu}{\param{wxMenu* }{menu}}
+
+Removes this menu from the list of those managed by this object.
+
+
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::Save}\label{wxfilehistorysave}
+
+\func{void}{Save}{\param{wxConfigBase\& }{config}}
+
+Saves the file history into the given config object. This must be called
+explicitly by the application.
+
+\wxheading{See also}
+
+\helpref{wxConfig}{wxconfigbase}
+
+
+\membersection{wxFileHistory::UseMenu}\label{wxfilehistoryusemenu}
+
+\func{void}{UseMenu}{\param{wxMenu* }{menu}}
+
+Adds this menu to the list of those menus that are managed by this file history object.
+Also see \helpref{AddFilesToMenu()}{wxfilehistoryaddfilestomenu} for
+initializing the menu with filenames that are already in the history when this
+function is called, as this is not done automatically.
