[Help] Dynamically Create Right Click Menu Or Portion
Saturday, July 28, 2007 by SirSmiley | Discussion: DesktopX
I'm having a brain fart. Any help would be appreciated.
So, I'm working on my first "Skinnable" Widget/Gadget which uses the ImageMagick Com object
to create a reflective PNG. This came about after a request over at Aqua-soft.
My goal is to populate a portion of the right click menu with a list of the skins. At the moment
I'm using a Subfolder Collection to pull all of the Ini file's. Has anyone got an idea on how to
dynamically populate the right click menu with the names & calls?

Wouldn't that be essentially the same as an IF THEN ELSE statement? Because that didn't work...and apparently neither does the CASE ELSE.
I'm thinking it's most likely using the zero based array? Even though there's nothing specific in the DX documentation most likely zero is a default? So, I'll work on adjusting my arrays accordingly.

That was it or a combination of it with the CASE ELSE.
So class the lesson for the day is, when dynamically creating a right click menu one can't use a zero based array!
Thanks a lot for all the help guys.

Glad to hear you worked it out. I'll certainly keep this in mind in future.

I'm having some probs.
"Drag'n'drop ImageMagickObject.dll onto RegSvr to register the com object"
I did and I got this error: LoadLibrary("C:\Documents")failed - The specified module could not be found
Then when I drag and drop a PNG image onto the first spot of the widget I get an error saying something went wrong and the widget only accepts images by drag and drop.
What do I do now?

Try installing the com object from the right click menu. Or drag it onto the regsvr2.vbs file. Or drop it on the regsvr.exe file. If there isn't a right click menu option to install it then you need the newer version.
I'm going to check dA to see if they screwed up my last update.

The r-click menu option worked, but I still get an error when I drop an image onto the widget.
Something went wrong. This will only accept images as drag and drop files. I'll try to continue through.

I just downloaded it from dA, removed all my versions of the com object & cleaned my temp directory and it installed without a hitch on XP Pro Sp2. All the right click does is call the regsvr (Using the DesktopX.ExecutableDirectory) passes the object to it and registers/unregisters it.

Dropping it onto the regsvr.exe file worked! Thank you and thanks for this awesome gadget!
