    InvokeCommand    Carries out the command associated with a shortcut menu item.
    QueryContextMenu    Adds commands to a shortcut menu.

Remarks

    When to Implement
    Implement IContextMenu in the following situations.

        * Shell extension handlers implement this interface to dynamically add items to a Shell object's shortcut menu.
        * Namespace extensions implement this interface to specify their object's shortcut menus.

    For a detailed discussion of how to implement IContextMenu, see Creating Context Menu Handlers.

    When to Use

    Applications use IContextMenu to retrieve information about the items in an object's shortcut menu and to invoke the associated commands. To retrieve an object's IContextMenu interface, an application must call the object's IShellFolder::GetUIObjectOf method.

    Shell extension handlers that export this interface must also export IShellExtInit. For details, see Creating Shell Extension Handlers.
    Note  Windows Vista and later: Prior to Windows Vista this interface was declared in Shlobj.h.
