Windows资源管理器上下文菜单上的InfoTip

Question

I'm creating a c# application that adds entries in the registry to add items to the windows context menu like shown in this structure :

• HKCR
  • *
    • shell
      • MyApp
        • command

How can i get a infotip or tooltip while I'm hovering MyApp ? I added a string value infoTip under MyApp key but it doesn't work.

There's an example : while hovering context menu witch appears when you click on the horizontal arrow from (Start -> Shutdown).

Edit : I used a tool to inspect the class name for that menu and it turns out to be not a contextmenu but a toolbarwindow32 so i suppose that its infotip is not the same as a ( contextmenu #32768 ) if there's one.

Likely way too late to help but there's a great library available called SharpShell that will allow you to do this exact thing and many other Windows context menu related functions. It is just terrific. The library is available on GitHub and here's a Code Project page where the developer explains how to use SharpShell to do exactly what you're trying to do.

Even if you were/are trying to figure it out for yourself I cannot exaggerate how great of a resource SharpShell source code would be to use as a guide.
