Custom Menu for File Entries

**franku** · 23rd May 2011, 14:50

Hi out there, does someone know how to access the (system) custom menu which is shown when you right-click into a QFileDialog. (This is the same system-menu that is shown when right-click into a File-Explorer list showing all the registered actions you can do with the selected file.)

I'd like to use this kind of system-menu for a list filled with random files, like the search dialog in windows.

Any Ideas how I can access this menu within Qt?
Thanks in advance. .. frank

This is not a Qt related, you need to look in windows shell extentions forums, Hope the moderator take care of this.

Thank you very much for this hint.

Nevertheless interesting, I was looking rather for how to launch exactly this context menu within Qt than modifying its contents. In my opinion this should be very easy but I didn't figure it out yet (and I didn't describe it well above).
