What controls the width of the area for the number of the Recent Files List. On my system it will show the 1 to 9 but 10 and higher it doesn't show the numbers before it when using the CXTPRibbonControlSystemRecentFileList.
If you create the control using the CXTPControlRecentFileList then it shows all the numbers but using that one it doesn't properly display long filenames consistent. Sometimes it's the full path and filename split in the center someplace with the three periods ... and other times it's just the filename it displays and no paths. So there appears to be bugs in both of them.
I even tested usng the RibbonSample VB6 code you had and the same thing happens. The only change I made was to add more items to the Recent Files List in the Form_Load.
CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled1.txt"
CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled2.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled3.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled4.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled5.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled6.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled7.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled8.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled9.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled10.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled11.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled12.txt" CommandBars.RecentFileList.Add "Untitled13.txt" I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and my text size is set to 100%

Same issue. Seems to me like a bug. Did you get a solution? ------------- Product: Xtreme Suite Pro (ActiveX) version 16.3.1 Platform: Windows XP SP3 (32bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Only solution was to use the CXTPControlRecentFileList instead and just testing it in the latest 13.4.0 and the bug is still there. Also the bug with the long filenames is still there. So you are screwed either way I guess. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX Unicode) version 22.0.0 Platform: Windows 11 (64bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |

Have you tried opening a ticket with support? Although my experience with opening tickets is horrible -- I've got 4 tickets open since early July with most not even getting so much as a response, others with no follow up response.
I was planning on using RecentFileList control but as I found in the forum, I'm not the only one that finds it useless for my purpose as you can't do much with it. I am moving from another MRU component that had Key, Caption, Icon, and Value properties that I could set. In my case, I need to display to the user a friendly path, but keep the full path plus some server related info (i.e. xyz;myserver:3312;blah\blah\blah.bla) as we're dealing with items not just directly on the file system or UNC. I would think that adding these additional properties would be a simple thing for Codejock and would solve a lot of folks pains. Unfortunately it seems like all focus seems to be on adding new components or products rather than fixing / enhancing products that users are asking for.

I thought I did but honestly don't remember. There's alot of the "simple" things they miss and this is one of them. Releases
As a programmer I don't understand how they ever could have screwed it up in the first place. Especially when I see the friendly long names at first then all of a sudden it switches to just the filename for the items. It's probably just as easy to create your own list of captions and store the info you need in an array. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX Unicode) version 22.0.0 Platform: Windows 11 (64bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |
