Context menu in explorer

[davidman73]

Hi!

I'm trying to create a shell extension manager to add an item to the shortcut menu in explorer when clicking over a file. I understand that I need to implement the IShellExtInit interface, but I don't know how to reference that in my vb.net project. Where's that interface? How can I do this?

Thanks,

David

There is a sample app in the Framework SDK:

<FrameworkSDK>\Samples\Technologies\Interop\Applications\ShellCmd

I don't have the SDK.

However, someone sent me a sample I think from that same folder and it was in C#, not VB. Do you have any VB samples?

Thanks,

David

Actually it was in the Framework SDK, sorry (and you should download that or order the CD for its many samples and docs). The sample app is attached.

OK. Got it. Thanks a lot.

This is the C# sample, though. Not VB. I'll have to convert it somehow...
