Shell extension in Visual Basic 6

Hi Timo

Sorry that i disturb you again. But you are the only person i know, who knows so much about the windows shell in vb.

I'd just one tiny question.... but probably there's a long answer.... isn't it?

Is it possible to create myown shell extension in vb? Perhaps to add a special function to the file's context menu?

Thanks in advance.
By the way theres no hurry

Hi,

yes, it is possible. The VB5 CD (or was it VB6? :dontknow:) contains a sample for a Context Menu Extension. There're also some samples on Edanmo's VB Page.

Hi

Sorry, but i can't find this example. However i'm only in possession of the visual studio 6.0 pro cd.

Would it be possible for you to upload this example?

If it is not on the VB6 Professional CD, I don't have it either, because I don't own VB5 anymore.
Have you downloaded the samples from Edanmo's VB Page?
