Folks, back in July I asked about adding a shell context menu for .sln files. It turns out that many extensions follow a simple pattern of registry entries in HCR where you can add commands. Some extensions such as .sln follow a different convention that is completely baffling and despite all sorts of daring experiments I failed to add menus to such items.
Now I want to do a similar thing to items with specific extensions in the Visual Studio solution tree. There are many samples of how to use Options > Customize to add custom menu commands to tree items, but they apply to *all* items. I want to add specific commands for extensions but can't find any clues so far. I'm starting to suspect that this is not possible via Customize and may need to write and install an extension, which is too much bother. Does anyone know if it's possible to customize VS tree item commands by extension? It would be a fabulous productivity boost if it is possible. *Greg K*
