inzo21 Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Hello all. I'm trying to build an application that hooks into the context menun system of Win2k or better Os's. For example, when the user right clicks on a file or folder, I need to place a link in that context menu to trigger an event. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get more info on this? I've looked at Interop and don't want to pull in the Win32 API yet if I can help it (for app deployment purposes). In VB6, I used a context menu handler object and registered the app in the registry. I'd like to avoid this as well if possible. thank in advance! inzo Quote he who forgets will be destined to remember... (E.Vedder)
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted November 6, 2003 Administrators Posted November 6, 2003 IIRC the only way to extend the shell's context menu is through COM. You would have to do pretty much the same as you did in VB6, writting the DLL, registering it etc. Quote Posting Guidelines FAQ Post Formatting Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. -- Albert Einstein
