Examples

The following example shows the usage of the FileExplorerClassicDragDropContextMenuHandler element within a package manifest file to register a drag and drop shell extension.

<desktop9:Extension Category="windows.fileExplorerClassicDragDropContextMenuHandler">
    <desktop9:FileExplorerClassicDragDropContextMenuHandler>
        <desktop9:ExtensionHandler Type="*" Clsid="<GUID-for-the-com-server>" />
        <desktop9:ExtensionHandler Type=".txt" Clsid="<GUID-for-the-com-server>" />
        <desktop9:ExtensionHandler Type="Directory" Clsid="<GUID-for-the-com-server>" />
    </desktop9:FileExplorerClassicDragDropContextMenuHandler>
</desktop9:Extension>

This example assumes you have added the desktop9 xml namespace to your manifest file using the following syntax.

<xmlns:desktop9="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/desktop/windows10/9">

The AppXManifest file must have the dependency MaxTested set to at least version 10.0.21300.0. Support for OS builds starting with the minimum version of 10.0.21300.0.
