[Review] EZShellExtensions.Net

I was looking to create a couple of new shell extensions and I started looking at what was involved when I came across EZShellExtensions.NET.  This new product from Sky Software makes it easy to do any of the following:

  • Contextmenu extensions including owner drawn menu items
  • Icon extensions
  • Overlay icon extensions
  • Property sheet extensions
  • Column extensions
  • Infotip extensions
  • Thumbnail extensions
  • Dragdrop context menu extensions
  • Directory background context menu extensions
  • Drop extensions
  • SendTo extensions
  • Disk Cleanup extensions
  • Copy hook extensions
  • Taskbar bands
  • Internet Explorer toolbands
  • Internet Explorer vertical and horizontal bands.

    •  

    EZShellExtensions.NET also provides integration with all versions of Visual Studio including 2005. 

    Adding a context menu item to Windows Explorer is as easy as this:

    protected override bool OnInitialize()

    {

            MenuItems.Add("Register Extension");

            return true;

    }

    protected override bool OnExecuteMenuItem(System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem item, SkySoftware.EZShellExtensions.ExecuteItemEventArgs e)
    {

            if(item.Index==0)

            {

                    string output;

                    string exe = Path.Combine(GetInstallDir(),"RegisterExtension.exe");

                    string args = "-i \"" + TargetFiles[0]+ "\"";

                    output = RunProcess(exe,args);

                    MessageBox.Show(output);

            }

     

            return true;

     

    }
