uploads/20100129_093823_OL2007_new_mail.zip - Using Suite Pro 13.2.1, I would like to add a list in the System Menu like the RecentFileList. Unfortunately RecentFileList seems to accept only files in its list. As a sample, I attached a screenshot of a new email window and its menu : my objective is to create a list like the one in the red square exactly at this place with the same layout.

You can create a 'CXTPRibbonControlSystemPopupBarListCaption' using the CreateCommandBarControl function and then fill that with
'CXTPRibbonControlSystemPopupBarListItem's created with that same function. It allows you to get the exact same looks as the recent file list, except the pins. I always use it instead of the built in recent file list as it is no use for me because you have absolutely no control at all. Oh and set its BeginGroup to true, or else it will look ugly. |

JantjeKeizer,
You are exactly right my friend. I was actually having some trouble out of the recent file list as well. It's rendered useless except in apps like MS Word or similar. ------------- Product: Xtreme Suite Pro (Active-X), Version 15.3.1 Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64Bit) & Windows XP Mode SP3 (32Bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

I tried and it works well. My last question : is it possible to assign an icon because I tried thru IconId property but without success !?!? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 13.2.1 Platform: Windows Vista SP2 (32bit) Language: Visual Objects 2.8 |

Glad I'm not the only one with same results. I've been trying to move from another MRU component to the RecentFileList. The other component has a Key, Caption, Value properties which we found very useful and very much lacking in the RecentFileList. For me, it's that I need to show the user one value but use a different value internally.
I really hope Codejock extends the control, otherwise as others seems to have found, it's useful for most things.
