Class: CMRU
Class that handles processing of "Most Recently Used" menu items on a form.
This class is commonly used to store the "Most Recently Used" file list for menu items on a form, but the list of items does not have to be a list of files. It could be used for any unique items you wish to store and display on a form's menu.
