GtkRecentChooser is implemented by GtkRecentAction, GtkRecentChooserDialog, GtkRecentChooserMenu and GtkRecentChooserWidget.
Includes
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
Description
GtkRecentChooser is an interface that can be implemented by widgets displaying the list of recently used files. In GTK+, the main objects that implement this interface are GtkRecentChooserWidget, GtkRecentChooserDialog and GtkRecentChooserMenu.
Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.
