For a shell extension (UI is similar to "New/" context menu), I need to create a file, select it and enter "rename" mode, so the user can adjust the default name.
Q: How do I enter "rename" mode for a file?

The correct way to do this is to use IShellView::SelectItem with the SVSI_EDIT flag.

Thank you! Didn't expect any answer anymore, and yes, that's how it should be done :) – peterchen Jun 24 '11 at 13:00

Have you tried sending "F2" to the window?

Sending keystrokes isn't really the solution I'm looking for - besides, this would require selecting the file first. Further problems: refresh and wait for the new file to be actually listed, and selecting the file – peterchen Jun 08 '11 at 05:55
