Context Menus

[BinaryAnge]

Problem 1:

I have a Listview that has a bunch of files from a folder in it. I want to make it so when you right click on a file, it displays the appropriate context menu for that file type.



Problem 2:

How can i get all the appropriate icons for all the known file types to display in the Listview.

what do you mean by "appropriate context menu"? you mean the same menu that will show up when you right click on a file in windows?


for the second one I have an app in vb6 that does it with API, but I dont think you want APIs

[BinaryAnge]

correct. i want the one that would appear if you clicked on it in explorer, and correct, i would prefer not to use api's. I've been told that i probably need to access the shell, im not sure how to. i was told that it is what provides the icons and context menus for window dynamically. (i dont me shell something, im talking about the windows shell.) any help is appriciated.
