Menu
I have a file listing in my application and I would like to allow people to right-click on an item and show the Windows Explorer context menu. I'm assuming I would need to use the IContextMenu interface, but I'm not really sure where to start.

A. Pressing Shift-F10 will bring up the context menu for any selected item. Just pressing F10 shifts the cursor focus to the first menu item (normally File).
To open the context menu, right-click (or press and hold) on a file or folder in File Explorer. To find commands from the previous Windows 10 context menu: Right-click (or press and hold) on a file or folder to open the context menu. Select Show more options.

I have written a library that might be able to help you. You could use the controls provided by the library, or if you don't want to do that, looking through the code may give you an answer.
You can find the library at: http://gong-shell.sourceforge.net/
