在C＃应用程序中使用3rd party上下文菜单（对于Windows资源管理器）？

Question

Unlike others who wish to add items to the Windows Explorer, I want to display a context menu within my application. Now you may be thinking, the class you are looking for is ContextMenu . Let me show you what I am interested in doing. Please excuse the small images...

Here is what I currently have:

This is what I would like it to be:

Let's get the assumptions out of the way. I've already detected that the user has TortoiseSVN installed and the item they are selecting is under source control.

My research thus far:

Retrieving context menus - This is very useful. This is ac# library for the Windows Explorer (which can retrieve the context menu for a particular folder/file). However, even when testing out the example, it does not retrieve the TortoiseSVN options.

Another context menu retrieval - Almost identical to the previous link (C# code again). Gets the Windows Explorer context menu minus the TortoiseSVN options.

Process to add context menu - I have just started reading these in-depth posts. The answer may be within this text but it is going to take me some time to get through it. If I have any luck with these, I will post back an answer.

User appears to be able to accomplish this - This appears to be a email group that deals with SVN development. Why post it here? Perhaps to prove that this can be done. To quote: "I'm playing with the TSVN shell context menu. I'm using the IContextMenu.QueryContextMenu (C++ code) method to access TSVN shell context menu and then I'm browsing trough the returned menu."

All in all, this seems like it should be a fairly straight forward thing to do and I am just missing one step. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Answer 2

Rather than trying to pull from the Windows Explorer, ultimately I re-implemented the ContextMenu myself. Adding in the direct calls to TortoiseSVN (as previously mentioned). Not the super elegant solution I wanted but it worked of course!

I will note that user oefe pointed out that the main issue could have been due to x86 vs x64 (TortoiseSVN was installed as x64 on my development machine). Other users may want to look into that if they try to accomplish a similar task.
