Description
|
Very few programmers know that Visual Basic is an excellent tool for creating shell extensions that more closely tie an application to the Windows shell. All of the available documentation focuses on using C++ for such shell extensions, but even C++ programmers find the task rough going, given the woefully inadequate state of the documentation. Visual Basic Shell Programming shows how to take advantage of shell services to develop such extensions. Each major type of shell extension gets attention, including customized context menu handlers, per instance icons (such as a data file icon that's based on the contents of the file), and customized property sheets. Visual Basic Shell Programming ventures where none have gone before by giving readers the know-how to develop shell extensions while at the same time providing an advanced tutorial-style treatment of COM programming with Visual Basic. |
