I'd simply write the path\file to a data file somewhere and read it before
you contruct your menu. You would write to this file every time someone
opens or creates a file. You would probably also want to create a subroutine
that limits how many files are kept, as such:
### untested!
### At the beginning of the script this sub would get called like
&recentFilenames();
### during your open file sub do something like this. $file = the file you
just opened
&recentFilenames(open,$file);
###
sub recentFilenames
{
my ($what,$file) = @_;
if ($what eq "open")
{
open(FILE,">>$recentFiles");
print FILE "$file\n";
close(FILE);
push(@recentFiles,$file);
shift(@recentFiles);
}
else
{
open(FILE,"$recentFiles");
@recentFiles=<FILE>;
close(FILE);
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
while ($count > "5") ### however many files you want to
remember.
{
shift(@recentFiles);
}
}
### do your menu here, using @recentFiles
}

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Most-Recently-Used files
Hi,
Does anybody have an idea how to implement a Most-Recently-
Used files (last used files)?
It is mostly in File menu.
I mean similar to MS WORD, MS EXCEL, COREL and many other
applications.
Thanks
Ladislav
