Description

Fields

Public internal const DefaultMaxCount = 5;
 

Methods

Protected procedure MenuCreate; virtual;

Create and destroy menu (or anything else that mirrors URLs contents).

Protected procedure MenuDestroy; virtual;
 
Public constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
 
Public destructor Destroy; override;
 
Public procedure Add(const URL: string; const MaybeStdIn: boolean = true); virtual;

Adds as the most recent file URL.

If MaybeStdIn, then we treat URL = '-' specially: it's ignored. Use this if your program interprets '-' as "load file from standard input", such files should not be added to recent files menu.

Note that we want to store only absolute URLs. So this method will always call AbsoluteURI (which will eventually call ExpandFileName on filename inside, and make sure it has appropriate protocol) on the given URL.

Properties

Public property URLs: TStringList read FURLs;

List of currently stored URLs. This is readonly.

Published property OnOpenRecent: TOnOpenRecent read FOnOpenRecent write FOnOpenRecent;
 
Published property MaxCount: Cardinal read FMaxCount write FMaxCount default DefaultMaxCount;
