C#

    if (e.MenuType == GridMenuType.Column) {
        DXMenuItem item = new DXMenuItem("<color=red>Delete</color> (<b>not recommended</b>)");

        e.Menu.Items.Add(item);
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub GridView1_PopupMenuShowing(sender As Object, e As DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs)
    If e.MenuType = GridMenuType.Column Then
        Dim item As DXMenuItem = New DXMenuItem("<color=red>Delete</color> (<b>not recommended</b>)")
        item.AllowHtmlText = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
        e.Menu.Items.Add(item)
    End If
End Sub
