Visual Basic and context menus

I would like to have a small sample Visual Basic application created that adds a menu option (with icon) to the context menu that pops up when a user right clicks selected text. When that new menu option gets clicked the selected text would them be passed to the VB application. I would like something similar to what WinZip does when you right click files (but I want a menu option for the text context menu not the file context menu, since WinZip deals with files and not text). I understand that a control or dll might need to be created in addition to the VB code. If a control or dll is needed I'm assuming that you would create it and include the C/C++ source. If a control or dll is created I would like it to be written in C/C++ The problem I'm trying to find a solution for is that my customers seem to feel that the current version of my product is either too 'techy' or 'jimmy rigged'. What I do now is monitor the clipboard and popup a small window each time I see new text. The fact that it's using, 'that clipboard thingy' as one user put it, is causing some support issues. ---------- Addendum: I would like to thank everyone for their bids. I'm starting to believe that my explanation of this project is not clear. Many of the bids are for a custom context menu for my VB application only. That is not what I want as I can do that in 30 seconds with VB (strange that some of the bids were very high for this work). I would like to add a custom menu option to the drop-down menu that pops when you right-click selected text in most/many/some applications. For example, if a user highlights text in Internet Explorer and right clicks it, a menu appears with options like copy, cut, paste, etc. I would like to have a custom selection in that menu that would, if clicked, pass my VB program the selected text (or run some command, etc.). I would like the same with Word, Outlook, Notepad, WordPad, Eudora, Netscape, etc. I don’t need a perfect solution. I would just like to have that option for most or many of the more common applications that people use. In other words I need a user-friendly way to get selected text to my program. The above is my solution but I’m open to other clever solutions. I have tried the hot-keys approach without success. I apologize for the confusion. Thanks again for your time and help. Have a great one. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
