    Shell Extension? How To

    Hi,

    How can I, with my VB application, add shell extensions? I'd like to be able when I right click a DIRECTORY under Windows Explorer to have an option to start my application with that directory path as a parameter.

    How can I do that?

    Thanks. The sampling in MSDN is only for VC++, and my app is VB.

    Re: Shell Extension? How To

    Uhmm did you searched the usual sites? :-) I know I've seen a sample both in VB and Delphi which is an application toolbar.. ready to use by the way... it's pretty close on the shell itself.. a friend has written one in C++ and it's low-level programming, yes. But possible in VB.
    Now I only forgot where :-((... maybe someone know's what sample I'm talking about??

    Crazy D :-)

    I just (finally) found a sample of this in the MSDN site.. good sample to learn how to do it, much more complicated than I tought...
