Hi guys,

I'm working on a context shell extension in C#. I'm trying to add bitmaps to
the menus.

This is based on Dino Espinosa's code at
http://www.theserverside.net/news/thread.tss?thread_id=26795

The code works fine, but I'm trying to show a bitmap by specifying fMask |=
(uint)MIIM.BITMAP and setting hbmpItemp to
[bitmapObject].GetHbitmap().ToInt32().

I get Win32 error 8 "Not enough storage is available to process this
command."

Any ideas? Much obliged.

That's a bad idea to start with. See here why

Hi Mattias,

Thanks, and a very valid point. I guess I'll need to finally learn COM
programming in C.

I'm fairly proficient in C, can you recommend a good shell programming book
that also introduces the reader to COM?

Cheers

No sorry, the only shell book I've ever read was aimed at VB6 devs.

You can probably get a better answer if you as in the
microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell group.
