How do build such a toolbar element ?
How to find the mouse position within this toolbar element to switch between the open file part and the MRU list part of the bmp?
Thanks
Richard
What is MRU ???
I mean the Most Recently Used file list which appears if you hover the mouse over the little black triangle on the right side of the Open Icon

Post a screenshot of what you are talking about.
Here it is . Clicking on the left side brings up a file open dialog, clicking the black triangle shows the most recently used files to select

As far as I know those type of menus are built using .NET and any computer you run that application on has to have the NET foundation classes installed.
I have no idea how to build those type of menus or if is possible without all that NET stuff.
Maybe someone else knows more.
I did a little digging.
The type of menus you are talking about are part of the
Ribbon UI which is a COM object
More info and the API is here:
