Create Item In Explorer Context Menu And Then Retrieve Path To Active Folder?
Aug 11, 2011Using VB 2010 Express, I will try to explain what I want to achieve:1. The user installs my program.2. In an Explorer window (Vista/Win7) the user will right click any file.3. The program checks if there is an item called "MyApp" in the context menu (i.e. the menu with for instance the "Open with..." item). If not, then create the "MyApp" item which launches "TheRealApp.exe" that the user installed. Place the item after the "Print" item.

Jan 30, 2012I wrote a program that runs in the background and waits for me to hit a predefined key combination.
When I hit this key combination I want it to do the following
Check and verify that Windows Explorer is up If IE open, I want it to get the current/active windows explorer screen directory.
So lets say I had windows explorer opened to "c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
Then when I press my key combination "shift+t" my program will get the directory of my windows explorer.
So it should display a message saying something like "Active Directory: c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"

C# - Get Path Of All Open Explorer Windows?
Jan 5, 2012I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.

View 3 RepliesVS 2010 Explorer Context Menu - Path Argument?
Nov 21, 2011I want to add an option to the explorer context menu that appears whenever a user right clicks on a folder or drive. So I add the following reg key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellMyProgramcommand
"(Default)" value within is set to:
C:MyProgram.exe "%1"
and all works fine for folders, the %1 gets expanded to the relevant folder path that the user clicked on. However, when right clicking on a drive (e.g C drive in My Computer) the fact that the path then has a trailing backslash seems to seems to mess things up as the backslash acts as an escape character and makes the last quote mark get passed in as part of the command line (and the backslash is removed completely).For example if the following command is called from a context menu generated by the user right clicking on their C drive: "MyProgram.exe" "%1" You would expect the final command line to be this:MyProgram.exe C:But what actually happens is this: MyProgram.exe C:" I can add a backslash in manually (e.g "%1") but then it works fine for drives and not for folders.

C# - Send Folder Rename Command To Windows Explorer?
Dec 27, 2011I have a shell extension made in .NET that creates folders (think of it as a context menu New -> New Folder option clone) and uses a InputBox to input the name of the folder from the user. Instead I want to send the rename command on the folder to the already open Windows Explorer window. It should be just like how Explorer lets us name a new folder:
On searching, I found this : Windows Explorer Shell Extension: create file and enter "rename" mode. It says to use the IShellView::SelectItem function with the SVSI_EDIT flag. How do I do that with .NET?

View 7 RepliesForce A Refresh Of All Win Explorer Windows Showing A Particular Folder?
Feb 15, 2009The application I'm developing does some file management chores, such as renaming and deletion of files. I have noticed that often after a file is deleted via code, it is still shown in Windows Explorer although it doesn't exist anymore. A refresh (F5) solves this, however I wouldn't want end users to have to press F5 every couple of minutes when using the application.
Can a refresh of all open Windows Explorer windows be requested via code? Moreover, can the refresh be requested only for windows displaying a particular location? I've thought of getting all open windows, filtering them and then sending the F5 keystroke, however it sounds a bit like overkill. Any easier way to do it?
Setting Focus To The Folder View In Windows Explorer
Sep 15, 2009I am trying to write a script to set the focus to the folder view in Windows Explorer. Is there some sort of way I can find the folder view pane and set focus to it? A bit like finding a child window and setting focus to it using the Windows API functions.
[Code]....
Now I realise that you can't use the above functions to find parts of Windows but it just gives you the idea. If I could do it with API functions that would be fine otherwise I am a little bit limited because I am using a Visual Basic scripting type engine which I won't bore you with details of.

View 2 RepliesSelect File/folder In Namespace Extension In Windows Explorer?
Jun 9, 2012I am having a namespace extension implemented, which is visible in "MY Computer". I want to write automated test cases to browse through the same. I am able to open the explorer window till the namespace extension. as -
Process.Start("explorer.exe", "shell:::{CLSID of my namespace }")
next I want to search for a particular folder name inside the window opened. For example if i give input as "temp", then my mouse should move to "temp" folder in the namespace explorer window. then I double click on the mouse's current position and enter that folder. next i give input as "doc1.doc", then my mouse should be able to locate & move to "doc1.doc" file. Also getDirectory or GetFile etc APIs won't work because I don't have a standard drive associated with my namespace & don't have a relative path either.

View 6 RepliesGet Folder Path Of Application?
Jul 4, 2011This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?
