deploy to context menu

Hi

I have written an application that I would like to deploy to the context
menu in xp. That is the menu that appears when you press the secondary
windows button (generally between the alt and ctrl buttons on the right side
of the space bar - or press shift +F10).

How do I specify deployment to that menu rather than to the desktop or
program menu?

Thanks

Hi Doug,

You don't deploy an application to the program menu or the desktop. You
deploy the application to the computer, and can add shortcuts to launch the
application to the program menu or desktop (among others). To add a command
to your application to the system's context menu, you would add one or more
registry sub-keys. Here is a reference to the subject on MSDN:

Hi, I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize the context menu. many application has more controls inside the context menu (like textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc'). is there a way making this without writing my own context menu (meaning, popup form or something) ? Please don't post commercial products to this topic thanks.

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
