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.
