FileMenu Tips

Important Notes....
  • FileMenu processes the "Autoexec" (initialization) section of a menu file every time an item from that file is executed.

  • Hotkeys are not supported.

  • Shell extensions can be loaded and unloaded rather frequently by the operating system, so there is little benefit in using the "Drop" function.

Functions

In addition to the standard WIL functions, FileMenu supports the following functions:

CurrentFile

CurrentPath

CurrFilePath

 

The following functions are NOT supported:

IsMenuChecked

IsMenuEnabled

MenuChange

Reload

 

Status Bar Comments

You can specify a comment for display in the Windows Explorer status bar. This works only for top level menu items. The comment must be on the same line as the top level item. For example, the menu item below is a main menu for running the program Solitaire.

 

&Solitaire ; A fun game 

Run("sol.exe", "") 

 

The following dialog shows how comment appears on the Explorer's status bar.
