[Nipun]

hi all
i need a little help with programming. actually i am building a software for windows flat form. so now i need to add some option when we are do right clicking in windows environment . ex - (when we right click on a file . "winrar" software gives us extract here.add to archive etc. if we had installed Bit locker. it will also come when we right click on a file. ) so how do i do that in programming. how could i include this option for my software?

A what? Do you mean WinForms (Windows Forms)?

You'll want to mess with the registry for that, make sure anything you can write can be undone for test/sanity (so you don't ruin your reg with bad info). Also a quick google for "c# write context menu like winrar" all of the top 4 do what you ask

You'll have more luck on the programming/web dev board as suggested

I'm not just giving you the code, a simple google search does that for you as I said previously.

You edit the registry to add a context action for your app that appears in the menu. If you need to ask this I suggest you read up on context menus first before starting the programming side of it so you have an understanding of what it is you need to do.

C++ translated to C# quite well as there is no need for explicit constructors/desctructors and GC is managed for you (but you can explicitly call it). You will likely need .Net components which should be accessible in C++

Everything you need to know to add a shell extension. (something that when you right click on a file in windows explorer, will show some stuff).
