I am using the CodeJock Command bars and CFileList. Although when I update my CFileList in my mainApp it doesn't update the items in the "Recently Used Files" popup menu. It does enable the one default item. But does not change the text.

In the resource file I have:
...
IDR_MAIN MENU PRELOAD DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
    POPUP "File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "New"
        MENUITEM "Open"
        MENUITEM "Recent Files",    ID_FILE_MRU_MYFILE1, GRAYED
        POPUP "Recent Files 2"
        BEGIN
            MENUITEM "Default",       ID_FILE_MRU_NEWFILE1
        END
...

In the MyApp.cpp:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MyApp, CWinApp)
    ...
    ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_FILE_MRU_MYFILE1, OnUpdateMruMyFiles)
    ...
END_MESSAGE_MAP( )
...
void MyApp::InitInstance()
{
...
    pMRUmyFiles = new CRecentFileList( 0, L"MRU my files",
        L"file_%d", NUM_MRU );
    pMRUmyFiles->ReadList( );
...
}

void MyApp::OnUpdateMruMyFiles( CCmdUI* pCmdUI )
{
    CString     file1 = ( *pMRUmyFiles )[0];

    if( file1.IsEmpty( ) )
        pCmdUI->Enable( FALSE );
    else if( pCmdUI->m_pSubMenu == NULL )
    {
        pMRUmyFiles->UpdateMenu( pCmdUI );
        return;
    }
    CWinApp::OnUpdateRecentFileMenu( pCmdUI );
}

In the resource file snippet you can see that I have tried two different methods for creating the menu, neither of those work so must be something else I'm missing. Do I need to use CXTPRecentFileList instead of CRecentFileList?

Hi,

Please search in this forum. There was samples for Recent list.
