Topic: Change or Remove Controls in the File menu

How do I change or remove a button caption from the Recent Documents list of the File menu of a Ribbonbar Control? What event is fired that I can intervene to update the Recent Documents list for the File Menu.

I start with this during the Form_Load:

Set ControlFile = Ribbonbar.AddSystemButton()

....

Set Control = CommandBars.CreateCommandBarControl("CXTPRibbonControlSystemPopupBarListCaption")

Control.Caption = "Recent Documents"
Control.BeginGroup = True
ControlFile.CommandBar.Controls.AddControl Control

Set Control = CommandBars.CreateCommandBarControl("CXTPRibbonControlSystemPopupBarListItem")

Control.ID = ID_File_History_1

Control.Caption = FileHistory(i&)

....

Then I need to know which event to track so I can change/remove the captions of the Recent Documents controls so users can see a list of the recent files they have opened. I have this code:

Set Control = .Find(xtpControlButton, ID_File_History_1)

Control.Caption = "(Last Filename)"

but I don't know where to put it. What event is fired before the File menu is launched?

Is there a better way to code this so I don't need to access/find the controls with static IDs ( ID_File_History_1, ID_File_History_2,...)? Can I just loop thru all my Recent Document controls to change the captions without using an ID?

Also, is there a good tutorial on Actions?

Hi,

Guess best event InitCommandsPopup - fired before Popup appeared.

CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup routine is called for all Popup controls. How do I know when the File meu control is selected?

Private Sub CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup(ByVal CommandBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar)

End Sub

Also, is there a better way to code this so I don't need to access/find the controls with static IDs ( ID_File_History_1, ID_File_History_2,...)? Can I just loop thru all my Recent Document controls to change the captions without using an ID?
