Hi Guys,
Is there any tutorial out there explaining how to write windows shell
extensions with the CDT ? I'm in particular interested in writing a shell
extension that would contribute to the shell context menu using the
IContextMenu interface. Note that I'm an experienced Java developer but a
poor C++ developer.
I've found articles explaining how to write such extensions with Visual C++
of course, one of those if the following:
http://www.codeproject.com/shell/shellextguide1.asp
But I can't figure out how to get the same result with the CDT.
What's more, if such a tutorial doesn't exist yet, I think it would make a
very good addition and why not a very good CDT C++ project wizard ;)
Kind regards,
C

Hi Doug,
Well actually, I wonder too :) But I guess it's possible since:
1. It's possible to write a windows dll with MingW and CDT
2. The required IContextMenu interface is declared in
<mingw>/include/shlobj.h
The thing is I'm not experienced enough with C++ and CDT to figure out how
to configure a project to build a dll with all the required headers. This is
why help from an experienced fellow would be most welcome ;)
Kind regards,
C
