How to add custom tasks to the Jump List?

Was someone of you able to add custom tasks to the Jump List of your application?

At first I thought it would be as easy as changing the taskbar progress or adding buttons to the thumbnail image. Unfortunately it seems that we programmers have to approach the Jump List entirely different. A 4.5 year old topic on here hasn't found a solution either. Is this even possible with PureBasic?

Here's a page that shows how to do it in both C# and Visual Basic:

Hope it helps!

Thanks PB. I also found this on CodeProject: Windows 7 Goodies in C++: Adding Custom Tasks to Jump Lists

Can someone with better understanding of those languages please tell me if it's possible to translate it into PureBasic?


Edit:
I wonder why nobody posted such a question earlier on the forum. I mean (together with the thumbnail buttons) it's a great feature of Windows which exists since a couple of years. All of us would benefit if someone finds out (if and) how this can be done in PureBasic! :)
