Toolbar Open file bmp with MRU part

[RitchieF]

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

What is MRU 

[RitchieF]

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:
