Adding menu items to specified subentries

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

   Hi xtp support team,
I am trying to add a new control(menu entry) to a given control(entry). File->Recent Files it is called. I want to add and remove recent file menu entries. Currently i do it like the following:

CXTPControls* menuCtrl = pMenuBar->GetControls();
CXTPControl* recentFilesCtrl = menuCtrl->FindControl(ID_FILE_RECENTFILES);
I firct of all the the menu bar controls and try to find the given control the ID_FILE_RECENTFILES, which works.  But how to go on then?
I also checked another approach

CXTPControlButton* pControl = (CXTPControlButton*)menuCtrl->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_RECENTFILES_NOFILE1, _T(app->mRecentFileNames[0].AsChar()), 2);

I think that is the normal way of adding controls to a menu. This also works but with that method i cannot add the control to a submenu entry, but only to the top. So like File or Edit. But i want to add it to a subentry item in the File submenu.
How can i do that?

- Benjamin
