[python-win32] Attaching Menu to Any App

[otaeris at o2.pl]

Hello Tim,

Thanks for your answer. 
Yes, this is exactly what I want to acomplish.
Application i'm working on is going to be called from that menu. Plan is to attach it automatically to some apps through running service or some process. 
I red a lot about hooking WinApi but I don't realy know C that much. Writing a simple DLL sounds really easy.
How do you mean subclassing a window  and overtwritting windowproc can be done in python ?
