The right-drag-menu

[peterbonge]

From time to time I have to make some shortcuts. Normally I'm using the right-drag-menu to make shortcuts. But TrackerV3 has it's own right-drag-menu. And there are some tools which are extending the normal right-drag-menu. Needless to say that these entries are also not shown in TrackerV3.
By the way this is a very old wish from the beginning of this forum...

It's a well known issue, see also http://www.trackerv3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=235

Did it!

Great!

And the switching thing is also fine. But you should add a "H" behind the "Shell Context Menu..." in your own context menu.

I don't know if we need a joined context menu. It could be a little bit bloated.
On the other side: Why is it so hard to join them? Isn't it similar to the context menu of files and folders? There you already have joined your own context menu with the system context menu.

It's the h in Shell -- depending on your OS settings (XP) you see it underlined or not. It's an accelerator, not a keyboard shortcut.

There are some differences under the hood. If you watch the title bar of the main window you'll see that it gets unselected when the drag menu pops up, but it stays selected (top window) when the the normal context menu pops up. There's also a memory leak involved (same in Explorer and every app that pops a shell drag menu). My impression is that this part of Windows was done in a hurry...
