[Solved] Context Menu Tree Layout - Updated

[IanN1990]

Hi,

I am working on the last stage of a project now, though i thought i had it figured it turned out i needed one last past. Around a week ago someone helped me with some context menu code but now its become a little complex and over my head.

Though i will keep working on this topic, i figured i would post my question here as well incase someone knew how to do it.

In my old topic it relayed information about making context menus.

What i would like to do is have a menu that includes all my folders down a tree path.

Example

#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIMenu.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Local $GUIContextMenu = GUICreate("Context Menu", 1, 1, -5, -5, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
local $MainContextMenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()

$LvL1Computer = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Computer", $MainContextMenu)
$LvL2Desktop = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Desktop", $LvL1Computer)
MutiContextMenu(@DesktopDir, $LvL2Desktop)

$ret = _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu(GUICtrlGetHandle($MainContextMenu), $GUIContextMenu, 250, 250, 1, 1, 2)
ExitScript(_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText(GUICtrlGetHandle($MainContextMenu), $ret, False))


Func MutiContextMenu($Location, $Menu)
$FileList = _FileListToArray($Location)
For $i = 1 to $FileList[0]
If Not(StringRight($FileList[$i], 4) = ".ini") Then GUICtrlCreateMenuItem($FileList[$i], $Menu)
Next
EndFunc

Func ExitScript($ContextMenu)
Select
Case $ContextMenu = ""
WinActivate("[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]")
Case Else
ShellExecute(@DesktopDir & "\" & $ContextMenu)
EndSelect
EndFunc

So this code makes a basic context menu, and makes many context items for each file/folder for the desktop but what i would like it to do is for every folder to make a context folder instead and load its files into context items for that menu.

Any ideas on how i could go about it, i thought about hardcoding it but i would rather not as that means if i make any new folder i would have to recode it

There we go, can go 4 folders down and can be called to any system directory. The code was a pain to write ^^ "As if anyone knows me they know i don't use comments as i believe if code is well written then its easy to understand thus not needing comments"

but back to the orginal Post is this style the coding the only easy / practical / fast / low CPU way of getting a context menu to show files and folders ?

*Edit Sorry for the bad format, every time i submit it screws up ><

NEW PROBLEM

Func ExitScript($ContextMenu)

Select

Case $ContextMenu = ""

WinActivate("[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]")

Case Else

ShellExecute(@DesktopDir & "" & $ContextMenu)

EndSelect

EndFunc[/autoit]

Before, as the context menu was only loading desktop when a file was selected $ContextMenu became the selected item and it was ShellExecuted but now the context menus branch off into different folders and i dont know how to catch the needed information to load it
