Context menu on a different application?

[mickn66]

I want to give my program the ability to add a context menu to a different application, or to add a menuitem to an already existing contextmenu in that other application. Specifically the other application is Internet Explorer, and I want to add something to the context menu that pops up when people right click on a text box or something. I know a bit about using mouse hooks - I can succesfully trap right-mouse clicks on a system-wide basis. the tricky part is adding my menuitems to an already existing contextmenu - I still want the original menuitems of the existing contextmenu to show up, together with the menuitems I add.

 

Any help would sure be....helpful:)

Doing something like this isn't very practical. You'd need to hook the IE window, capture the WM_CREATE of the parent, add new items to it, subclass them so you can make them do things...

 

I'd say the best bet would be to see if you can do something like this with IE plugins, and investigate that.

You know,I've tried to investigate that but I can't find anything! It's hard to search this board for IE plugins because the search engine only lets you put in terms of 4 letters or more (I think). I searched for 'internet plugin' but found nothing. Can you give me some idea where to look?
