How can I remove an item from the items obtained from the main File Explorer menu (IContextMenu) and add a new item along with an icon?

Question

Based on the answer already given (previous question), I wanted to customize the resulting items so that some of them are not visible and add a few of my own items so that I can do something from the click event on the custom item. If possible, please edit the text of one of the items. Thank you all.

Hi @Anonymous ,

To modify the context menu retrieved from IContextMenu, you'll need to:

1. Remove an existing menu item: This can be done by modifying the menu handle (hMenu) returned by QueryContextMenu.
2. Remove/Add a custom menu item: This can be achieved using the RemoveMenu and AppendMenu API.
3. Assign an icon: You can use SetMenuItemBitmaps or ModifyMenu to associate an icon with the custom menu item.

Best Regards.
