Docs.Recents.MaxItemsCount setting usage

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi support,

I'm trying to "disable" history by using "Docs.Recents.MaxItemsCount" and setting it to 0.

Code (one line important below, but just in case):

Code: Select all

  //hard coding some options
  fInst.Settings['Docs.SingleWnd'].v := false;
  fInst.Settings['Docs.CanOpenByDblClk'].v := true;
  fInst.Settings['Docs.CanOpenByDrop'].v := false; //custom handle
  fInst.Settings['Docs.HideSingleTab'].v := false;
  fInst.Settings['Docs.AutoSyncDocPanesLayouts'].v := false;
  fInst.Settings['DocView.RestoreLastLayout'].v := false; // -< ok
  fInst.Settings['Docs.Recents.MaxItemsCount'].v := 0; ///  <- this not working
  fInst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChange_Common, nil);
  fInst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChange_Documents, nil);
  fInst.FireAppPrefsChanged(PXV_AppPrefsChange_PageDisplay, nil);
When I open the preferences dialog the max number is still > 0 and loading a document places it in history:

Hi Alex,

Sorry, I made a mistake.

The "Docs.Recents.MaxItemsCount" is for this edit:

However, setting it to "0" is not possible (lowest value accepted is 1).

Hello zarkogajic,

We've investigated this issue, and there is no easy way of setting the item count to 0. You can get to the list and remove it items manually - that's the only way for now.

Cheers,
Alex

Just remembered: you can always use the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... earHistory method to clear history if needed before the program start.

Hi Support-Team,

I have the same request:

How can I remove specific items from this list by code? Or did you mean with 'manually' that it is currently not possible by code?

Thanks and kind regards, Olli

Hello oknpp,

From what I remember, I meant something like this:
