C# Shell Menu - Text menu?

Question

Hello everyone, i have been working on a project that will execute a command when the menu item is clicked under the shell menu. My problem is how could i get under the text shell menu? The menu i am talking about is when you open a text file, and when you right click on text or within that text file, not sure what that menu is called haha. Anyone ideas or example projects? Thanks!

Here is a great article on Codeproject that should answer your question: Simple shell context menu .

I have looked at that article before and it did help me but it only seems to tell you how to connect to a specific file type, and not the actual text within the textfile. So for filetype i have textfile, but the menu item shows for when you right click on a text file, but not the text within it. Do i make sense here?

Hi,

As far as I can see, the menu is a control of a text editor and can not be manipulated by other applications .
