If I have my AIR desktop app running, is it possible to program it so that if I right click in another program eg Photoshop, the right click menu has an item in it from my program that allows me to do something in or with my program?
I notice that when I right click on my desktop there's a Dropbox item in the menu. So that sort of thing.
Thank you

I am looking for a way to launch my application in a browser with window frame or tabs or menu or toolbar, is there any way i could achieve that.
For instance i want to launch my application without the part marked in orange. (without tabs or possibility of creating a new tab) and the settings button beside the address bar
Update:
i am adding a image of what i am trying to accomplish...
Thanks in advance
Recently Tapatalk updated their app and a new menu appeared, which I haven't seen before.
Does anyone know what this menu is called?
There is an image in the top left corner which is 3 orange horizontal lines, when you press on it a menu pops out from the left.
I am trying to write my own app and wanted to use this.
I have seen it in a few apps now.
I would upload an image but I am unable to at the moment
From what I can see in the app screenshots, this is a quite typical menu which slides in from the left in many Windows Phone apps these days. It can also be seen in Facebook, for example.
There is a good blog post explaining how to implement that written by Dan Ardelean:
Add side menus to an Windows Phone application (similar to the Facebook app)
It comes down to using gestures (or button click) to bring a part of the app into view.
You could also make a Flipview with 3 pages (FlipViewItems), it would be almost the same as the Facebook app
I have a silly question.
Is there any way to make a custom adobe air application installer?
Now, after I click on the badge "install" button (on the web site), air app starts installation process in 4 steps (3 mouse clicks):
First, I have 3 buttons ("open", "save" and "cancel"), I click on "open";
Then I have 2 buttons ("install", "cancel"), and I have to click on "install";
After that, I have options to change installation directory location, add shortcut icon on the desktop, and 2 buttons again ("continue" and "cancel"), I have to click on "continue";
And finally, installation begins.
Is there any way to avoid some steps here (e.g. second step), or maybe to disable some buttons (like "save" button in the first step, or "add shortcut icon on my desktop" in the third)?
If it's not possible, is there any way to create custom air app installer?
Thanks
P.S. I don't have problem with these 3 mouse clicks during installation, but my clients consider that "I have" 1 extra click.

If you want custom badge style, you have to pack your app as captive runtime and create your own installer.
I have a windows 8 app, in which i show the list of students as tiles. When a tile is tapped on, the app bar opens which give the option to edit. My question is; when the tile is tapped, is it fine to go to the Edit window rather than opening the app bar. Does windows 8 app guidelines allow this.
I have gone through the windows 8 guidelines but it has left me confused if its the right way or not.
Thanks in advance.
I think the best way to do this must be that on click of the tile you should open the edit window. And the appbar must have only add button, so that in case the user wants to add a student he can do so through the app bar. I feel this is the correct user experience.
Does extensions work if I save chrome page as shortcut application?
I've tried but no result.
We know that if we save page as application, there would be no address bar and all other browser buttons.
I've developed simple extension, with no UI, just javascrips running in background.html page. So, as I see no scripts are running in application. But I need them work.
What can I do?
Simply edit the shortcut path and append --enable-extensions.
To edit a Windows 7 pinned taskbar item, right click it then right click the program name and select Properties from the menu.
