Explorer Right Context Menu
in [Visual Studio]
|
From: Norm on 22 May 2010 18:15 Hi, I have added an entry to the explorer right context menu, which allows me to secure clean a file, through my own program, by right clicking on it and selecting Erase With FileClean. This works fine, but how can I add multiple files to the list. Code used to add context menu option: fWriteValue "HKCU", "Software\Classes\*\shell\Erase With FileClean", "icon", "S", App.Path & "\FileClean.exe" fWriteValue "HKCU", "Software\Classes\*\shell\Erase With FileClean\command", "", "S", App.Path & "\FileClean.exe %1" This works great and will add one file to the registry and then my program reads the file path and cleans it. I have tried adding %1,%1 to test, but get the same file twice. Then I tried %1, %2 and just got one file followed by a coma. I knew it could not be that easy. ^^ I tried searching google for %1, but just got a lot of pages of things with the number one in them. Is there some way of adding multiple file paths, separated by some delimiter to the end of the registry entry above? Any and all help appreciated. Norm

Try "%L" in place of %1 and see if that helps... LFS

I tried %L and got the same results. Just %L gave me one entry. If I tried %L;%L I got two entries, but both the same one. Norm

Not having gotten it to work myself, I can only suggest you look at a few Windows examples (check out the shell>open>command lines in the Registry) and see what they use. In particular, note what they use for HKCR/batfile/shell/open/command, likewise for cmdfile, comfile, exefile, and a few others. They all show an ending like: "%1" %* But as I said, I've never gotten that to work and seem to recall having difficulty with it. Post back if you make any headway.... LFS

Post back if you make any headway.... > > LFS Larry, Further testing shows that the value is there, but I am unable to read it in correctly. The right click context is sending the information to my program as a commanc line, which I am then writing into the registry. The problem appears to be in reading it. The following code will trigger a msgbox for each entry in the command line, If Len(Command$) > 0 then MsgBox = Command$ End If This will print and entry for each entry included in the right click followed by a ;. But trying to write the code to the registry will only write the first entry of the group. Hope this makes sense. ^^ When using the following code and inputing 2 files If Len(Command$) > 0 Then Dim strSplit() As String strSplit = Split(Command$, ";") MsgBox UBound(strSplit) For i = 0 To UBound(strSplit) MsgBox strSplit(i) If i = UBound(strSplit) Then Exit For Next i End If I get UBound(strSplit) = 1, but I get it twice I then get one MsgBox list each entry, but I also get one blank MsgBox with each entry. There is apparently something going on here that I do not understand. ^^ Norm
