New right click option by deathscythe on 03-07-2005 at 10:20 PM

Is it possible, to add the following new option:

When you right click someone's name, you get a list of things you can do to that  with that contact. I'd like to add a new option and hook into that option. 

Ideally I'd like to add a "Task Management" option to that menu for a small development team I am part of. Selecting this option would launch our Task Management software.

This seems like something a bit more challenging but I am up for it. Would it be a matter of using a resource editor to add the option and a process hook to capture the appropiate message? I understand the general concept but I am lost as to what exactly I need to do to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.

no, you don't need to use any resource editor. You can hook the window and add you own entry to the right-click menu and execute your code when the user selects that option. In theory it's quite easy, however coding it is more complex. I can't help you much more with this, sorry. Just remember that if Plus! does that and without touching the original exe, you can do it too.

Well, know I know I "can". Would anyone be able to tell me "how"?

Thanks in advance
