I did miss a line :-)
I have changed my command string slighty for the Folder->Shell->Open With
MP3 Catalogue->command
Folder
Shell
Open With MP3 Catalogue <-- ContextMenuName
command
(default) REG_SZ = "G:\Project\ADO Database\MP3
Catalogue v1.0\MP3_Catalogue.exe" "OpenFolder" "%1"
I am adding "OpenFolder" as a way to tell that the program was launched by
this particular command
if (AnsiContainsStr(CommandLine,"OpenFolder"))
{
Application->MessageBox(CommandLine.c_str(),"Message",MB_OK);
}
The shell is passing arguements to my program. When right-clicking a folder
and then clicking "Open With MP3 Catalogue", the program launches and the
message box displays:
"G:\Project\ADO Database\MP3 Catalogue v1.0\MP3_Catalogue.exe" "OpenFolder"
"G:\Project\ADO Database\MP3 Catalogue v1.0"
so the CommandLine string is getting %1 = G:\Project\ADO Database\MP3
Catalogue v1.0 from shell.
This happens everytime - no matter which folder I right click %1 always
equals "G:\Project\ADO Database\MP3 Catalogue v1.0".
This is the folder of the exe file, not the folder I selected. How do I get
the right folder instead of the folder my app sits in? For instance if I
right-click a folder called "Elvis", how do I get "Elvis" into my
CommandLine string?
