ParentBarItem and IsRecentlyUsedItem property

[Nik Vale]

The problem is that ParentBarItems are never really clicked and so if you set thier IsRecentlyUsed property to false it will always be hidden when partial menus are being used.

Ideally I would like a ParentBarItem to be shown in a partial menu if any of it's children has it's IsRecentlyUsed property set to TRUE.

By adding the following piece of code to the ParentBarItem class this can be achieved.

public override bool IsRecentlyUsedItem
{
get
{
foreach(BarItem item in this.barItems)
{
if(item.IsRecentlyUsedItem)
return true;
}

return base.IsRecentlyUsedItem;
}
set
{
base.IsRecentlyUsedItem = value;
}
}

Maybe this could be included in the next release?

Nik,

You are right. The suggested fix will also work pretty well. We will implement this for our next release.

Thanks for the suggestion.
