Most recently used menu?

In VS05, I've created a menu for the application and would like to insert a
'most recently used' item to hold, of course, the most recently used items
that this application is associated with. However, it is not clear to me how
this should be done. Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right
direction? Thanks.

I would imagine you would need to build a mechanism where by you store the
most recently used files. Many applications do this in the registry, you
could also do this in the database (if your application has one it is
already using), or in a file. Then you check the source where you keep this
list, and create the menu based on that.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that this is not something
that is supported anymore and must be custom written for each application. I
was rather afraid that would be the answer. Thanks for the response.
