To use the abstract wxView class, you need to derive a new class and override
at least the member functions OnCreate, OnDraw, OnUpdate and OnClose. You will probably

+A wxDocManager instance coordinates documents, views and document templates. It keeps a list of document

as providing selection and file dialogs. The application can use this class `as is' or
derive a class and override some members to extend or change the functionality.
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
-the file history, that will be used for appending the filenames. They are
-appended using menu identifiers in the range wxID\_FILE1 to wxID\_FILE9.
+By calling \helpref{wxFileHistory::UseMenu()}{wxfilehistoryusemenu} you can
+associate a file menu with the file history. The menu will then be used for
+appending filenames that are added to the history. Please notice that currently
+if the history already contained filenames when UseMenu() is called (e.g. when
+initializing a second MDI child frame), the menu is not automatically
+initialized with the existing filenames in the history and so you need to call
+\helpref{AddFilesToMenu()}{wxfilehistoryaddfilestomenu} after UseMenu()
+explicitly in order to initialize the menu with the existing list of MRU files.
+(otherwise an assertion failure is raised in debug builds).
+The filenames are appended using menu identifiers in the range
+\texttt{wxID\_FILE1} to \texttt{wxID\_FILE9}.
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:
void wxDocParentFrame::OnMRUFile(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
wxString f(m_docManager->GetHistoryFile(event.GetId() - wxID_FILE1));
- if (f != "")
+ if (!f.empty())
(void)m_docManager->CreateDocument(f, wxDOC_SILENT);
}
\end{verbatim}
To allow communication between the application's menus and the
document/view framework, several command identifiers are predefined for you
-to use in menus. The framework recognizes them and processes them if you
-forward commands from wxFrame::OnMenuCommand (or perhaps from toolbars and
-other user interface constructs).
