MaxMRUItems Property

Gets/sets the maximum number of items that will be displayed in the editor's MRU list.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property MaxMRUItems As Integer
public virtual int MaxMRUItems {get; set;}
Remarks

MRU is an acronym for 'Most Recently Used'. The control's MRU list contains the text of the items that were most recently selected by the end user.

When the HasMRUList property is set to true, as items are selected, a copy of the item is added to the top of the MRU portion of the list. The other items contained in the MRU list, if any, are moved down. This process continues until the number of items in the MRU portion exceeds the value specified by the MaxMRUItems property. When this happens, the 'oldest' item is removed from the list.

Example
This example configures the UltraComboEditor to have an MRUList with as many as three items. It also prepopulates the list so that the MRU items appear the first time the list portion is displayed.
