RecentFileList Paths

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am using the RecentFileList with the CXTPRibbonControlSystemRecentFileList option.
However I do not want to specify files, but in fact an item number from a database. This does not have a Path at all.

I am populating the list by using:
CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add QuoteNumber

The items go into the list, however a Path is being automatically created and populated by the control somehow? This then appears in the tooltiptext when you mouse over the items in the list.

I cannot find a way to remove this path altogether. If I change the line to:
CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "C:\" & QuoteNumber

That works and then shows "C:\11112" for example.

Is there a way to remove the path entirely, so that it does not show up in the tooltip text of the recentfilelist item?

	Just don't use the RecentFileList option, because these are not recent files. Use a submenu instead. It gives you control over the tooltiptext.
