When you open the system menu in Microsoft Word you see the recently opened documents right of the other menu options. How can i achieve this with the CodeJock CommandBars Control? An expample would be great, don't mind in what programming language.

I probably have to attach a commandbar of type CXTPRibbonSystemPopupBarPage to the System Button Menu, but haven't found an example how this should be done.

MS Word example:

CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add works out out of the box. see sample.

If you want to add simple command button then use CXTPRibbonControlSystemPopupBarListItem

Hi,

is there a way to get the status of the recent files entries, e.g. Pinned/Unpinned by code?

Thanks, Peter

Not possible at the moment.

Probably CJ can add Pinned Property to RecentFileList
