Working with delphi menus

Problem/Question/Abstract:

How to hack delphi environment (IDE)?

Answer:

This is just a sample application for interacting with Delphi IDE.U can use it more extensively. For invoking other applications u just need to change the menuclick event handler.

Given below is the full code. Compile this unit into a package and install the same.

unit SubhaExp;

interface

uses Windows, Menus, ExtCtrls, SysUtils, Forms, ToolsApi;

type
  TSubhaMenu = class

  private
    FMainMenu: TMainMenu;
    FFileMenu: TMenuItem;
    FGiriMenu: TMenuItem;
    procedure OnMenuItemClick(Sender: TObject);

  public
    procedure AddMenuItem;
    procedure RemoveMenuItem;

  end;

var
  FSubhaMenu: TSubhaMenu;

procedure Register;

implementation

procedure TSubhaMenu.AddMenuItem;
var
  i: Integer;
begin

  FMainMenu := (BorlandIDEServices as INTAServices).MainMenu;
  for i := 0 to FMainMenu.Items.Count - 1 do
  begin
    if AnsiSameCaption(FmainMenu.items[i].Caption, 'File') then
    begin
      FFileMenu := FMainMenu.items[i];
      Break;
    end;
  end;

  FGiriMenu := TMenuItem.Create(FFileMenu);
  FGiriMenu.Caption := 'Subha IDE Services';
  FGiriMenu.OnClick := OnMenuItemClick;

  for i := 0 to FFileMenu.count - 1 do
  begin
    if FFileMenu.Items[i].isLine then
    begin
      FFileMenu.Insert(i, FGiriMenu);
      Break;
    end;
  end;

end;

procedure TSubhaMenu.RemoveMenuItem;
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i := 0 to FFileMenu.Count - 1 do
  begin
    if AnsiSameCaption(FFileMenu.Items[i].Caption, 'Subha IDE Services') then
    begin
      FFileMenu.Remove(FFileMenu.items[i]);
      Break;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure TSubhaMenu.OnMenuItemClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Application.MessageBox(PChar('This Is only a Simple Example' +
    ' to Work With Delphi IDE ' + #13#10 + ' For Further Details On This Contact' +
    #13#10#13#10 + ' Subha@botree.co.in'), PChar('Message From Subha'), MB_OK);
end;

procedure Register;
begin
  FSubhaMenu.AddMenuItem;
  Application.MessageBox('Subha Narayanan Has Hacked Your ' +
    ' Delphi Environment !!! ' + #13#10 +
    ' See You Soon With Lot More Goodies !!! ' +
    #13#10 + ' CopyRight (c) 2001, Subha Narayanan. ',
    ' Welcome To Delphi ', MB_SYSTEMMODAL);
end;
