I've asked everyone I know who codes and googled every keyword. I know what I'm trying to do is possible because people use to do it back when I was 16.

This is what I have:

- Text to enter into the menu
- Start \ Add menu button
- Sendkeys

This is what I need:

A way to add new menu options when I right click. When I right click there is copy, paste, cut, delete, and others. I want to add more menu options in the same area where cut copy paste and delete is. I know you can do it in VB6.0 I just can't find out how.

I'm going to use sendkeys code so that if I right click in a search engine box on any browser on any search engine and then click "search 1" it will automatically send "This is search string 1" to wherever I right clicked in.

So whatever box or window I right click in I want it to send text to that box.

If I right click and then click "Search 4" I want it to send the text for "Search 4" to whatever box I right clicked in.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I know it can be done :mad:

I want to add extra menus on the right click of all windows not the browser.

When you right click in windows in a textbox u see copy, cut, paste, delete, and others.

I want to add more options in the same area as copy cut paste and delete.

So if I'm in a conversation on instant messenger, chat room, in a search engine, or ANY textbox I can right click, click "namehere" and it will send whatever text is in "namehere" to the textbox I right clicked on.

It is for saving time to type. If I'm on an instant messenger and have to go, I can right click in the type box, then click "brb" from the same menu where copy cut delete and paste it, and it will send "hold on i'll be right back in 20 minutes ttyl bye" to whatever box I right clicked in.

Hi,

I'll think you'll find you'll need to use API calls to achieve this. Quite how you'll add it to every menu you want is something else.
