This shows the registry settings you need to apply with screenshots: How to Add Any Application Shortcut to Windows Explorer’s Context Menu - How-To Geek

To add such keys when deploying the app you can use a Setup Project, at runtime registry can be changed with the Registry/RegistryKey classes.

Can you help me, i still cant understand link you gave me. What i should place on

' Add code here to use the argument.​

 

[JohnH]

try this:

MessageBox.Show(argument)

 

[MrQwertz]

I added that but it show: "Statement cannot appear outside of a method body /multiline lambda"!

Since this is information you process when application starts and form first loads I suggest you put the code in forms Load event handler.
It is also possible to use the application Startup event for this.
Thinking forward, when you're ready load a file you can use the RichTextBox.LoadFile method.

I added this on Form1_Load:

[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=blue]For[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Each[/COLOR] argument [COLOR=blue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]String[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]In[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]My[/COLOR].Application.CommandLineArgs 
   [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]RichTextBox1.Text[/COLOR] [COLOR=#008000]= [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]argument 
[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]Next
[/COLOR]

Is this wrong or I'm retarded!

 

[JohnH]

If you want to display the argument in rtb that is spot on, I'm sure you can learn something from that too. If you want to load a file perhaps you should read the previous post again.

MrQwertz, how we take a step back and see what all you've got with your code, can you post the entire form/module showing us how you're getting the commandline args?

No problem sir. I'm creating BracketFinder. You need to open your document or paste or drag 'n' drop and it find missing bracket and it locate missing bracket. And i added 'Check with BracketFinder' on right click on some documents. When i click 'Check with BracketFinder' it opens BracketFinder but richtextbox is empty. I want to open document with 'Check with BracketFinder' and that richtextbox should be filled with document where i performed 'Check with BracketFinder'. If you know what i mean.

How about you post it as a zip file on here? Be sure to delete the bin & obj folders from the project before zipping.

When I click on the green 'Download (169.3 KB)' button, I get a 403 Forbidden page.
