I'd like to create a custom Windows Search and Windows Preview shell extension for a proprietary file type for Windows 10/11. Has anybody done this with Ada and have some examples and/or an API that can be used? I'm a newbie in this area and have only just started investigating the prospect of doing this by beginning to read the online Windows documentation. Is it feasible to use Ada for this kind of thing or must I use a language native to Windows like C# with Visual Studio? Any recommendations for how to begin this journey would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

It's basically a question of Registry entries (IIRC).
You can have a look at AZip's shell extensions for files and folders, it's configured by the Ada code.
Search from: gwindows/azip_gwin-installation.adb
In the UI: menu: Options / Install AZip, then the "Context menu: Manage" button.
