I mean it's the windows which spawned the context menu - it will likely have keyboard focus. Will this help?

No, won't help:
GetFocus() will return the window handle of the context menu if we're
lucky. But if we're not, GetFocus() can return any window. Because:
when we get to the part where the context menu invokes our command,
the context menu window could already be destroyed - that depends on
the implementation.
So: if it's the context menu that has the focus, we'd have to use its parent.
But what if the focus already shifted back to the open-dialog because
the context menu window was already destroyed? Then we'd have to use
the window that GetFocus() returned. The parent window of that would
be the VS2008 main window - so we're right were we started.

Also I've seen very strange things with GetFocus() when screen readers
or themeing-engines were installed - focus was all over the place just
not where I'd expect. So I don't like the idea of using the focused
window for this.
