## wxFileHistory

The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).

wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.
