A jump list is a collection of jumps (or links) to documents, commands, files, programs, or links that can accessed by right-clicking a taskbar button. In the C1TaskbarButton component, the C1JumpList class represents a jump list. A jump list may contain the following elements:

C1JumpList

There are several things you can do to modify the jump list. For example, you can set the maximum number of items that will appear on the jump list using the MaxSlots property. You may also set the known category section and the position of the known category section via, respectively, the KnownCategory property and the KnownCategoryPosition property.

There are three settings for the KnownCategory property: Recent, Frequent, and Neither. If you choose Recent, the list will display a series of links to files that you've recently used. If you choose Frequent, the list will display a series of links to applications and files you frequently use. If you select Neither, the user will never see a Recent or a Frequent category associated with your. list.

C1JumpPaths, C1JumpLinks, and C1JumpTasks

C1JumpPaths and C1JumpLinks are both of the C1JumpItem class, whereas a C1JumpTask is represented by the C1JumpTask class. The first two, C1JumpPaths and C1JumpLinks, are added to the C1JumpList by way of the C1JumpLists Tasks property, while C1JumpTasks must be added using the C1JumpLists Tasks property.
