How to change the context menu in the Tabbed MDI for forms?

[Administrator]

Hi,

I wish to add custom items to the child form's context menu. At the moment we only have "Close" option in the context menu which can be enabled/disabled by setting child form’s control box property.
Is there a way to add custom option to this context menu?

Best regards

Hi,

The described method works, however I also want to know how to add a event handler to the custom menu item?
Say I want to display a message box when click on the the newly added item in the example.

Thanks a lot.
