Overview
The MRUib project supplies MVVM/WPF controls that manage a Most Recently Used list of files.
See CodeProject article for more details.
## Details and Demo Applications
This library Implements a WPF/MVVM Control libray (with backend) that manages a Most Recently Used list of files:
- with saving/loading settings from to XML
- List can be grouped by last access (Pinned, Today, Yesterday, Last Week)
- A recently used files menu entry sorted by last access (without grouping is also supported)
- Pinned entries can be moved up and down in the list
- List entries can be removed based on their age (e.g. Remove all entries older than 1 week)
- Support for Light/Dark theming is build in
- Entries in a ListView (or other constrained size view) can be trimmed using Ellipses '...' characters at the Left, Right, or Center of the text string
See `ShowEllipses` dependency property of the:
- [PathTrimmingFileHyperlink](https://github.com/Dirkster99/MRULib/blob/master/source/MRULib/Controls/PathTrimmingFileHyperlink.xaml.cs)
- [PathTrimmingTextBlock](https://github.com/Dirkster99/MRULib/blob/master/source/MRULib/Controls/PathTrimmingTextBlock.cs)
for more details.
There is a demo application and unit test project to demonstrate usage of the control
and document each feature, such as, the ability to configure a minimum and maximum value
that can be used to keep the resulting number of list entries within defined bounds.
## Theming
Load *Light* or *Dark* brush resources in you resource dictionary to take advantage of existing definitions.
```XAML
```
```XAML
```
These definitions do not theme all controls used within this library. You should use a standard theming library, such as:
- [MahApps.Metro](https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro),
- [MLib](https://github.com/Dirkster99/MLib), or
- [MUI](https://github.com/firstfloorsoftware/mui)
to also theme standard elements, such as, button and textblock etc.
This library is the third attempt on the subject. See Codeplex to find the last version of this library:
http://mrulist.codeplex.com/.
Sample Applications:
- [Edi](https://github.com/Dirkster99/Edi) (see screeenshots below)
- [XmlExplorer](https://github.com/Dirkster99/XmlExplorer)
