We are using 'Explorer Shell Context Menu' from CodeProject. At its website we found a bug report related to this issue, but sadly no solution. Only the suggestion for another project called 'Gong Solutions Shell Library' that should work in this case.

related to ShellContextMenu there is also this second minor issue, the context menu of a network root folder does not work

when we change to another solution maybe also check this issue or create then an extra one therefore

[Hofknecht]

a third point is that dark mode not working in this ShellContextMenu:

should look like this:

Right click on items to choose "Send to" doesn't work #225 can be fixed by modifying ShellContextMenu.cs as described here

@Hofknecht :)

Method ShellContextMenu.ShowContextMenu first calls User32.dll DestroyMenu then calls IContextMenu.InvokeCommand, using the menu id of the previous destroyed menu.

Changed the order of calls, then it worked.

private void ShowContextMenu(Point pointScreen)
{
    ...

        uint nSelected = TrackPopupMenuEx(
            pMenu,
            TPM.RETURNCMD,
            pointScreen.X,
            pointScreen.Y,
            this.Handle,
            IntPtr.Zero);

        // First invoke menu item, then destroy menu.
        if (nSelected != 0)
        {
            InvokeCommand(_oContextMenu, nSelected, _strParentFolder, pointScreen);
        }

        DestroyMenu(pMenu);
        pMenu = IntPtr.Zero;

    ...
}

ShellContextMenu.InvokeContextMenuDefault in original source code for ShellContextMenu.cs does it in the correct order.

I have compiled latest commit 1.2.2.4 with this change to ShellContextMenu.cs and Send to now works for me.
