So where problem exactly ? Add special control:

Set Control = CommandBars.CreateCommandBarControl("CXTPRibbonControlSystemRecentFileList")

 

and setup items using CommandBars.RecentFileList members.

Currently, I'm loading the bookmarm list from a text file located in the same directory as the app.

I can do that successfully and actually be able to alter it in any form or fashion.

 

But, I don't know how to make it where if the user clicks the item in the list it will actually take them to the website it corresponds to.

In other words, a user adds google to the recently used list used as a bookmark. the like title and actual URL are implemented. but can not navigate to the site using list the same way you could in a combobox or a regular menu.

 

Does that help any? Let me know if it does and if you or someone else might know a solution or if it's still unclear. I understand that it might be confusing because I don't understand it all that well myself either. lol.

 

Hope to hear from you Oleg (Or anyone else for that matter. lol.)

 

Still not clear what you can do and what you can't.  You can catch moment when user click item but don't know how navigate to URL ?

 

 

Just tried RecentFileList control - and seems there will be problem that it always try to format name.

So think you can try manually fill control in CommandBar - see VB\DynamicPopups sample.

 

Anyway here code I tried:

 

 

Private Sub CommandBars_Execute(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl)
    If (Control.Id = 100) Then
        MsgBox Control.Caption
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

  Dim ControlFile As CommandBarPopup
  Set ControlFile = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, 0, "File")

  Dim ControlRecentFileList As CommandBarControl
  Set ControlRecentFileList = CommandBars.CreateCommandBarControl("CXTPRibbonControlSystemRecentFileList")
  ControlRecentFileList.Id = 100

  ControlFile.CommandBar.ShowGripper = False
  ControlFile.CommandBar.Controls.AddControl ControlRecentFileList

  CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add " http://www.codejock.com - www.codejock.com "
  CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add " http://www.google.com - www.google.com "
End Sub

I can add & remove the items pretty well. But I need it to be set up where you if you have "Google" as a bookmark, it is listed as "Google" instead of the full URL http://www.google.com/ - http://www.google.com/    I just don't know how to implement each item to where if you click google, it will go there and if you click forum, it will go to the forum. Do you get what I'm saying? I know it's troublesome but it's really hard to explain.

 

One more question though. Let's say I would like to make a "Favorites" bar similar to firefox or Safari. Is it possible to implement this where if you click on the favorites name and navigate to the site assigned to it?

 

Appreciate the help Oleg!

 

Check VB\DynamicPopups  sample - it Creates items dynamically - same you can create collection of items you need to set Caption to "Google" and Control.Pareamter to " http://www.google.com/ - http://www.google.com/ " and in Execute event navigate to value specified in Control.Parameter.

 

Also check CommandBars\VB\ToolTipContext  - it has Favorites Menu item.

 

So, the first option with the Parameter seems best option. Only thing is, I'm not sure exactly sure how to do this. The example is great but still unclear. Any way you could possibly help by dumbing it down a bit for me? :p
