Opening the document from the top of the recent file list automatically.

Filed under VC++ no comments

How to make sure that the application automatically opens the document that is at the top of the recent file list?

Ans: #include the ‘afxadv.h’ file in the application class’s source file. This file is required for CRecentFileList class’s definition. Add the following code in InitInstance( ) to open the first file in MRU list.

BOOL CMRUApp::InitInstance( )

{

// AppWizard generated code

if ( cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand == CCommandLineInfo::FileNew || cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand ==

CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing )

{

if ( m_pRecentFileList != NULL )

{

CString strmru = ( *m_pRecentFileList )[0] ;

if ( !strmru.IsEmpty( ) )

OpenDocumentFile ( strmru ) ;

}

}

else

if ( !ProcessShellCommand ( cmdInfo ) )

return FALSE ;

}
