Windows Shell Context Menu : Rapid development of Windows shell namespace extensions in .Net
Introduction
Windows Shell Context Menu is a framework for fast, painless and easy development of Windows Explorer namespace extensions in .Net . Windows Shell Context Menu eliminates the time-consuming, error-prone and complicated process of developing namespace extensions using an innovative yet simple and easy-to-use object model. With Windows Shell Context Menu, you can concentrate on writing the functionality of your namespace extension and not worry about the hundred things that are necessary to integrate the namespace extension seamlessly into Windows Explorer. Shell namespace extensions developed with Windows Shell Context Menu support all kinds of features including folder/non-folder items, sub-folders, sub-folder navigation, custom views, details/column view, contextmenus, background contextmenus, drag-drop, icons, overlay icons, thumbnails, groups/categories, tile-view, property sheets and many other features which enable the shell namespace extension to integrate smoothly and seamlessly into Windows Explorer and other browsers.

Windows Explorer context menu problem Hi,
I have an interesting problem about adding menu items to Windows
Explorer context menu. Details below:
I have used a sample (ShellExt) from Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 R2. After some changes, I have built the sample
and got ShellExt.dll file. Then, I have registered the extension
(using ShellExt.reg).
Till now, everthing goes well. But the interesting thing is:
I have two computers which have the same operating system (Windows XP
SP2).
The .dll file runs perfectly at first computer and adds menu items to
Windows Explorer context menu, but it does not do the same task at
second computer.
At first step, I have examined and compared all related registry
entries of two computers. They are same.
Secondly, using a program which is called "ShellExView", I have tried
every non-Microsoft products extensions one by one (disabling and
enabling them) to clarify whether the failure stems from them or not.
Additionally, "ShellExView" shows that the extension ShellExt.dll runs
perfectly at the second computer.
DebugView shows all messages at first computer but nothing at the
second.
After a long research on internet, I have failed to find any clue
about this kind of problem.
May be it seems very strange but the only difference between two
computers is:
The background color of context menu is gray at first computer, and
white at the second.
Thanks in advance! |

Add an Icon to shell handlers
Does anyone know what you do to set the Icon for an item in a shell handler? I've set a contextmenu handler to the extension .savdata and added the text "Open with ConvertFile" to the handler so that the context menu for .savdata looks like this:
Open with ConvertFile
-------------------------------------
Send To >
-------------------------------------
Cut
Copy
-------------------------------------
Create Shortcut
Delete
Rename
-------------------------------------
Properties
So how can I use "my.computer.registry.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in VB 2009 express edition to add an Icon file path to the left of the context menu handler?

How to host an IContextMenu
Most documentation describes how to plug into the shell context menu structure and be a context menu provider. If you read the documentation from the other side, then you also see how to host the context menu. (This is the first of an eleven-part series with three digressions. Yes, eleven parts - sorry for all you folks who are in it just for the history articles. I'll try to toss in an occasional amusing diversion.) |
