[Solved] Reverse list of recent files

[Jean-Marc Windholz]

Hi, 
I'm using the StartMenuRightColumnItems collection for the Recent files list in a c# project  and 
I would reverse the order of the list, thus the last opened file is showed at the top of the list 
and not al the bottom.

regards

Hello Jean-Marc,

If i understood correctly, and you just want to reverse the items in a DataSource, you can just use Linq and use Reverse().

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Hello Emanuel,
I saw Reverse() but it doesn't make anything alone, and I don't know how I can
use Linq with StartMenuRightColumnItems 

Best regards

Hi, 

Does this help? 

Form1_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Telerik.WinControls.RadItemOwnerCollection s = default(Telerik.WinControls.RadItemOwnerCollection);
    s = this.RadRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems;
    Array items = s.ToArray();
    Array.Reverse(items);
    foreach (Telerik.WinControls.RadItem i in items) {
        MessageBox.Show(i.Text);
    }
}

Edit: Converted from the following VB method

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim s As Telerik.WinControls.RadItemOwnerCollection
    s = Me.RadRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems
    Dim items As Array = s.ToArray()
    Array.Reverse(items)
    For Each i As Telerik.WinControls.RadItem In items
        MessageBox.Show(i.Text)
    Next
End Sub

Let me know if you need further help

Hello Jean-Marc,

There must be an easier and better way of doing this, but this will do the trick:

RadItem[] array = new RadItem[this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Count];
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.CopyTo(array, 0);
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Clear();
array = array.Reverse().ToArray<RadItem>();
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.AddRange(array);

Update... or this:

var array = this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Reverse().ToArray();
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Clear();
this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.AddRange(array);

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
