ContextMenu Invocation

[tvsdeepak]

Hi All,

I want to write a program which will invoke action on the windows
context menu. Any pointers how it can be done.

Eg: myprogram.exe "sendto\bluetooth device" "<fileName>

This should have the same affect as right clicking a file and calling
sendto->bluetooth device.


Regards,
Deepak.

Hi,

Search Google for "Shell Extensions".

Hi,

I know about shell extensions. I am able to add new item to context
menu using shell extensions.
But I couldn't find a way where I can invoke the existing entries in
the context menu in my application.

Regards,
Deepak

Dear Deepak,

What programming language are you using? Do you mean you want to pop up a
context menu using the Win32 API or something else? The TrackPopupMenu
functions work well in classic C Windows programming. You can have balloon
tips too etc. Can you explain what you want a bit more please. Maybe ask in
a more appropriate group?

Cheers,

Hi,

I am using VC++. My idea is to launch Bluetooth file transfer wizard
with an input file.
Explorer invokes it when u right click on a file and click "sendto-

Bluetooth Device".

I need to simulate the same behaviour in a win32 application (launch
bt file transfer wizard).

Couldn't figure out which is the best group where I can post it, so
posted in a general group.

Thanks
Deepak
