Welcome to context_menu’s documentation!¶
The most important information is on how menus.py works. Basic usage is as follows:
- Import the ContextCommand and ContextMenu Class from menus.py
- Create your menu and add sub_items using the add_items() command
- You can nest this functionality (see example below)
- For commands, either pass a command in a string or a function without the “()”
- Compile the model.
def foo2(filenames): print('foo2') print(filenames) input() def foo3(filenames): print('foo3') print(filenames) input() if __name__ == '__main__': from context_menu import menus cm = menus.ContextMenu('Foo menu', type='DIRECTORY_BACKGROUND') cm.add_items([ menus.ContextCommand('Foo One', command='echo hello > example.txt'), menus.ContextCommand('Foo Two', python=foo2), menus.ContextCommand('Foo Three', python=foo3) ]) cm.compile()A ContextCommand is the item that is selectable on a menu, so the entry that actually runs a command. A ContextMenu simply holds the commands. Menus can be nested, so you can create subsubsubmenus if you really wanted to. Simply add them to a menu as you would a command. See examples for more information.
You’ll probably find some useful methods in the windows sub package, such as deleting keys and all their subkeys from the registry.
