SA Dev,
Yes, I did delete the "Open Recent" menu that was in MainMenu.nib.
However, I don't want to put it back.
I have an app, XGP, that is building its main menu bar programmatically
instead of relying on the NIB technology. XGP's "main menu" NIB is a
trivial placeholder (it only consists of an application menu, "XGP").
All of the other menus, "File", "Edit", "Window", "Help", and the
XGP-specific "Tools", are created by XGP after it's launched. I've been
able to explicitly support "magic" Cocoa menus and menu items so far
(the Windows menu, Undo and Redo items in the Edit menu), but "Open
Recent" is being difficult.
Thanks for your interest,
Lindsey

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Did you delete the original
Open Recent menu that was in the MainMenu.nib's menu? If so, create a
new nib and copy the menu for a quick fix. If there's more to the
problem, please elaborate.

I am trying to create an 'Open Recent' menu item so that the
NSDocumentController will recognize it and auto-update its submenu
(as it does for the 'Open Recent' menu item created by default in a
document-based app project). There does not appear to be any
documentation (in Panther) on how to set this attribute. I found a
discussion at http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1289.html that
indicates that the 'Open Recent' menu item should have an action of
@selector(openDocument:) and a target of nil. However, this does
not appear to be adequate: opening a document in my app (XGP) with
this setup does not register in the 'Open Recent' submenu.
Thanks,
Lindsey
