This question is related to my previous question.
I need to obtain IContextMenu*
interface pointer for files in different directories (or even drives).
See my code, which is not working properly (e.g. the file properties dialog shows wrong information), because I provide wrong relative PIDLs (as mentioned in this answer).

Maybe it is possible to achieve using SHCreateDefaultContextMenu
or CDefFolderMenu_Create2
but I don't know how.
It is possible if you embed IExplorerBrowser
UI object into your app, which is available since Windows Vista.
The you can fill it with any PIDLs through IResultsFolder
.
Here is sample code, which is just slightly modified example from Win7 Platform SDK (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winui\shell\appplatform\ExplorerBrowserCustomContents\ExplorerBrowserCustomContents.sln)
There is definitely an another method using IShellView
which works on Windows XP but I didn't find it anyway.
