Hmm, the window class of the listview of this tabby thing is "TVirtualExplorerEasyListview". Looks like Jim's work. Yes, I am everywhere  :wink: Jim P.S.  I don't use the M$ Listview Control.  I wanted to support all the views in all versions of Windows  (an make it faster in a few of the...

That was a long time ago in "Jim Time"... :lol:

Ok, I looked at my code and yes I am still validating Copy and Cut manually in my proxy IShellFolder.  Not sure if it is still necessary.

Wow, there is a lot of code that I don't remember doing in that file....

In Debug mode of my app I'll verify that the IDataObject provided by the desktop contains correct CF_HDROP data and throw an assertion if it does not. If I ever come across the situation that the CF_HDROP data is not right, I'll activate the hooking, but so far it seems to be unnecessary. Make sure...

Thanks for digging into this more TiKu.  I will update my components.

Also you must add CMF_CANRENAME to the flags for QueryContextMenu to get the Rename.  You then need to see if the Verb is 'rename' and you are responsible for the rename, don't call InvokeCommand with this verb.

that's interesting Jim, so it is delphi to blame! Yes, up to Delphi 2005.  They added the fix in that version and beyond. Like you can't write namespace extensions in managed code That really roasts me in the M$ shell group.  When someone says "I know I am  not suppose to be writing extensions...

so how did you stop crashes and duplicates? I don't know.  I do know that somehow we are doing something different as I said I could not get the "Print" item until I used this: HKCR\FileSystemAssociations\{.ext} HKCR\FileSystemAssociations\{PerceivedType} In a nut shell this is what I am ...

Wish I knew you were so close to me, we could have talked shell over a beer (ok a few hundred miles).  I almost have it working in all versions of Windows.  The only thing I would like to understand is the Copy/Cut menu items.  I had to override GetAttribuitesOf as well and test if each item was SHA...

Hey Nikos,   Looks like Xplorer2 has the same problems I am having.  It does weird things in Win2k if you have too many different kinds of file types and will crash.  I am thinking the right thing to do is only put the file type of the currently focused node and then special types like "*"...

Your query sounds like it is a program development issue, rather than xplorer2-related. Yup it is. Although you might get a constructive reply from nikos or our readers, you are likely to get more help sooner from the the users at The Code Project: http://www.codeproject.com/   Has nikos implemente...

Hi nikos,  I have been struggling with this a bit.  I actually was overriding the IShellFolder and returning my own IDataObject last year but I was missing the registry key piece of it.  I have it all working... sort of.  Are you 100% successful now? My problem is that when I call release on the Con...
