How to Retrieve Delphi Projects MRU List Effectively

If you're a Delphi developer, you might find yourself needing to access the list of recently used (MRU) projects from your Delphi environment. The MRU list helps to quickly reopen projects you've worked on recently, enhancing your productivity. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a simple method to retrieve the MRU list for specific versions of Delphi by tapping into the Windows Registry.

Understanding the Problem

Important Notes

The registry values are typically named as File_0, File_1, etc. This naming convention allows for straightforward looping through the values until no more exist.

Ensure you choose the correct version number (like 21.0, 22.0, etc.) based on your Delphi installation.

Conclusion

With this simple approach, you can effortlessly retrieve the Delphi Projects MRU List from your registry. The construction of the GetDelphiMRUList function allows you to stay organized and quickly access your previous projects. Remember, whenever you're dealing with the registry, be cautious and ensure you only read data to prevent any accidental writes to critical areas.

By following these steps, you’ll ensure a more efficient workflow as a Delphi developer. Happy coding!
