Comments

The ContextMenu method displays the context menu for the selected file/folder(s).

The context menu is not implemented by SftDirectory.  The context menu and its contents are created and managed by the Windows Shell and available Shell extensions. 

If multiple folders are selected, the selections are normalized first.  The process of normalizing selections involves creating a group of folders owned by the same immediate parent folder.  While it is possible to select any combination of folders, the Windows Shell can only create a context menu for a group of folders owned by one folder.

Extended verbs are displayed by Windows Explorer, if the user right-clicks while pressing the Shift key.  Not all folders offer extended verbs.  An example of an extended command under Windows XP is the "Pin to Start Menu", which is available for (non-executable) files.

Depending on the RenameStyle property settings, the Rename menu entry may be available.

The ShowingContextMenu event occurs when the context menu is about to be shown.

The Folder.ContextMenu method can be used to display the context menu for one folder.
