Understanding TJumpList

[JackT 1]

When right clicking my programs toolbar button it open the JumpList menu. I can add a Task which runs a program when selected with command line parameters ?

Is there any way to simply send a command to the program generating the taskbar button so that it executes the command against the current instance ?

I just want to add a function to show a hidden window.

 

Thanks for any help in advance

My work around is to create a dll and call a function in it using RunDLL32 as the Task. I pass in the windows handle of my main window along with the name of the function I want to execute. The DLL posts a message to the main program window to make it do the thing I wanted it to do.

I used an EXE built in an older version (smaller size), it parses the cmdline, registers a mutual Windows Message then sends it back in the form of a WM_CopyData message.

 

Note:  WM_CopyData works across Application and Bitness boundaries
