Saving the last 5 opened files

[pierrotsc]

I would like to have an item under my file menu that would show "Reopen". when i hover my mouse on top of it, i would like to see a list of files I have last opened. Could someone tell me on how to do that if it is not too hard? I am sure it does involve some registry keys.
Thanks.
PO

The JEDI project has a component to do this: TJvMRUManager on their Non-Visual tab.

There are also some fairly extensive notes in the Delphi help files on how to add menu items programmatically [might not be with all versions though], its not too difficult, you don't really need a 3rd party component.
Basically you 'create' submenu objects. Then set the caption property of the newly created menu item to the text you require (The filenames).
