The approach I took in the ActiveX version will probably apply to MFC as well.  I created a toolbar control for 'Open File' that was of type xtpSplitButtonPopup.  This allows the user to click on the control OR have it also display a popup.  If they click on the control, the 'Execute' event of CommandBars handles that control to open the standard file open dialog.  I also used the 'InitCommandsPopup' event of the of CommandBars to detect when the popup portion of the control was about to be displayed.  At that point, I would remove all the previous child controls from the 'Open File' menu and add my current recent files controls.  Each 'Open Recent' control had the same control ID, and the caption was used to determine which recent file the user wanted to open.

I don't know the exact MFC approach for this, but this technique should be applicable to MFC as well.

Thank you very much.

I will try it, BTW, could you have some sample for it?
