VS 2005 : Windows Explorer Right Click Menu Item For Application?
Apr 7, 2010i want to put a menu item for my application to the right click menu of windows explorer.I do not want to do it programmatically but i want to do it with the .NET installer.Until now i have found that i have to insert into the registry the following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shell/MyApplication/command
and i have to put there a new value of
"[TARGETDIR]MyApplication.exe" "-file=%1"
The problem is that i want to be able to select multiple files and then call my application with parameter all of these files.Now when i right click with many selected files my application is run for each file sepparately.I want to run my application only once and with an input parameter of all the files that are selected.Also until now i cannot add a value to the (Default) key. It only adds a new value to the registry...Also i want to be able to do the same thing with folders...

View 2 RepliesInsert A New Right Click Context Menu Item To The Existing Right Click Context Menu For The Active Window?
May 15, 2010VB express 2008 .net 3.5 or .net 4.0 VB express 2010?I have written application to convert RTF to HTML. The main Purpose of the application is to copy VS code to the clipboard and covert it then put it back into the clipboard as a HTML Document so that it can be pasted into a HTML document such as Windows Live Mail. I found that code copied and pasted is spaced out in in the wrong positions.
The applications works perfect with no bugs so far. I then asked Myself how to go about doing the copy with the least amount of operator interaction. So I added an Icon to the Icon Tray with a right click menu to use to convert once the Rich Text Format was copied to the clipboard. This works fine except you have Five steps, Select the text, Copy to clipboard, Right Click the icon, Select the Converter and Paste. The normal is three steps.
To this the best solution is to add a context menu item to the active form such as the RTF editor or window. So that when you select the Rich Text to copy and right click on the form to bring up that menu then to Just Select the menu Item such as "Copy RT and Convert" I searched and found about 544000 Items and tried to restrict down to no avail. I read until I finally gave up. I did not find any code examples of this. Almost every thing I found related to the web or some other explicit document like Excel and not to the Various windows that could be active with RT in it.
how do you add a context menu item to the context menu of an active rich text format window such as WordPad or VB?I have test in my application that tests to see if it is a RTF in the clipboard so if it is not the converter does nothing.

Adding A Menu Item?
Apr 17, 2011I'm trying to make a program that adds a menu item when right clicking files.I got a C# code here:[URL] and converted it to VB.
It's working perfectly but the trouble is, it adds a menu item to folders and not files.
These are the registry entries i added:
Private Const MenuName As String = "FoldershellNewMenuOption"
Private Const Command As String = "FoldershellNewMenuOptioncommand"
convert them so it adds the menu item to a file?

View 2 RepliesRemove A Context Menu Item?
May 21, 2009how to delete a item from the context menu.. i can add a item with this code:
Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Add("delete file")
End Sub
no problem there. and to delete this item, i figured since it is the 4th item in the contextmenu (and i can't type the "delete file" either w/o error) it would delete it by index, with this code:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Remove(3)
End Sub
the (3) is giving me a error "value of type 'interger' cannot be converted to 'system.windows.forms.toolstripmenu'".. i think that means that the context menu does not support indexing.

View 2 RepliesVB 2010 - Menu Item Which Is Set To Be The MdiWindowListItem
Apr 6, 2011I have a menu item which is set to be the MdiWindowListItem. If I open several child windows, they appear in the Windows menu on the MDI Parent as expected. If I minimize one or more of the child forms they appear along the bottom of the parent and are still in the list. So far so good. If I select one of the non-minimized child forms which is behind another, then it comes to the front, which is what I expect. However if I select from the Windows menu item one of the minimized child forms, the it's title bar is activated showing it is selected, but it doesn't restore to its previous state. How do I get the minimized child form to automatically restore (to normal or maximised) when I select it from the Windows list.
I have tried using the Activated event for the child, but it has undesirable effects (ie restores at times when you don't want it to!)

Determine Selected Item From Context Menu?
Feb 12, 2012I want to add a context menu to a datagrid in VB2008 and I need to find out which menu item the user selected.
I don't want to use the ContextMenuStrip that's available in the toolbox since it doesn't allow for dynamic placement depending on what row is active in the grid (I haven't found a Top and Left property in the ContextMenuStrip)
Here's what I've got so far, I'm aware of the fact that the MsgBox uses a non-existing property, it is meant to show my intention.
Given the available properties in the ContextMenu object, I would think that there would be something like a SelectedItemCaption property but a search of the object tree yields no results.
dim grdContextMenu as ContextMenu
grdContextMenu = New ContextMenu
grdContextMenu.MenuItems.Add("Insert")
