 Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:07 am Post subject: Opening Explorer shell context menu from AHK? |
 |
|
Hi,
when you right-click a folder or file in Windows you get the folders shell context menu. There are other programs which also display this same menu, e.g. Explorer replacements. So there must be some API call that will display this menu. Any ideas how this can be achieved?
Background: I just changed from XP to 7. In XP you could right click the folder icon in the UPPER LEFT corner of an Explorer window to get a context menu for the current folder. In Vista and 7 this does not work anymore, and it's driving me crazy. Detecting right-clicks in the upper left corner of an Explorer window should be possible with AHK, but at this moment I don't know how to display the shell menu.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks!

Great response! I will be able to use this. AND I learned that COM invocation is possible; always thought AHK couldn't do it.
Thanks a lot!  |
