MetaCommand question

[samej71]

Hello,

I have added a new context menu option to the files list in the "Project View" pane, that I would like to use to open a file in a specialty editor. I've added the command, but I'm not sure what metacommands to use to pass along the selected file. Right now I'm using <FILE>.<EXT>, which is, of course, passing the file of the active editing window, and not the file that was right-clicked on.

What metacommand(s) should I use to pull the file(s) that was/were selected/right-clicked on, that brought up the context menu where my menu command is located?

Thanks!

(Hopefully that makes at least a teeny bit of sense)

There is no metacommand to use to specify selected files in the project file list but the list of selected files are saved in a global string variable. You can use the Menus^ContextSelectionGetFile to get the selected files, one returned each invocation.

Sweet. Thanks! I'll see if I can get something worked up.

Thanks again!
