I'm trying to write an AutoIt Script which should use an Explorer Context Menu entry.

For example:

File.xyz --> Shift+F10 --> Context Menu appears

--------Entries -------

Open

Test

Now I wanne check if Test exists at target computer. And if it is useable it sould be selected and started.

Can anybody help me? Thanks.

Check out the demos in Auto3Lib regarding the handling of popup menus. If you get stuck, post a small example of what you're trying to do in the Auto3Lib thread (Examples forum) and I'll try to help you out.

Maybe this can help you get going.

$objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
$objFolder = $objShell.Namespace("C:\_\Apps\AutoIT3")
$objFolderItem = $objFolder.ParseName("Test.au3")


$colVerbs = $objFolderItem.Verbs

For $objVerb in $colVerbs
   MsgBox(0,"",$objVerb())
Next

Enjoy !!

Cool, that's working great. But I have two additional Problems.

First the entry is inside the context menu, but it is greyed out. Can I check if the item is valid?

And second question. Is there an Option to select and run the item if it's valid?

Thanks for your help.

This is the command to activate it.

$objFolderItem.InvokeVerb("YourNameHere") ;Activates command from the context menu

If it is grayed out it will not run.

Thank you again, that works.

I had build a loop whitch tries to start the extension tree times. If the option is greyed out I stop the execution.
