I try to use the menus of the Windows Explorer in Vista but it does not work with the Menu class.
Can somebody suggest me an other way.

The Menu of the Windows Explorer in Vista is a ToolBar and not a Menu control.
It has no Text and no ControlId so it's difficult to find.
Use the following code to automate the menus of the explorer:

Code: Select all

Form form = Application.FindFormClassName("CabinetWClass");
form.Activate();

ToolBar toolbar = null;
// Find the toolbar with the commandId = 32896 (View menu item)
foreach (Control control in form.Controls)
{
    if (control.ClassName == "ToolbarWindow32")
    {
        toolbar = new ToolBar(control.Handle);
        if (toolbar.GetItemIndex(32896) > 0)
            break;
        else
            toolbar = null;
    }
}

if (toolbar != null)
{
    toolbar.ClickItem(32896); // Click the View menu item
    Application.PopupMenuSelectItem("Details");
}
