Remarks

In the Office view (see PropertyGridControl.ActiveViewType), you can display brick buttons against properties by setting the PropertyGridControl.OptionsView.ShowRowBrick property to True (see PGridOptionsView.ShowRowBrick).

The RowBrickMenuShowing event allows you to populate the menu.

C#

using DevExpress.Utils.Menu;

propertyGridControl1.RowBrickMenuShowing += propertyGridControl1_RowBrickMenuShowing;
private void propertyGridControl1_RowBrickMenuShowing(object sender, DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Row.Properties.FieldName == "Appearance.BackColor")
        e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem);
}
DXMenuItem createDataBindingItem;
protected DXMenuItem CreateDataBindingItem {
    get {
        if (createDataBindingItem == null) {
            DXMenuItem item = new DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...");
            item.Click += (s, ee) => MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.");
            createDataBindingItem = item;
        }
        return createDataBindingItem;
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Utils.Menu

Private Sub propertyGridControl1_RowBrickMenuShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs) _
    Handles propertyGridControl1.RowBrickMenuShowing
    If e.Row.Properties.FieldName = "Appearance.BackColor" Then
        e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem)
    End If
End Sub
Private createDataBindingItem1 As DXMenuItem
Protected ReadOnly Property CreateDataBindingItem() As DXMenuItem
    Get
        If createDataBindingItem1 Is Nothing Then
            Dim item As New DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...")
            AddHandler item.Click, Sub(s, ee) MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.")
            createDataBindingItem1 = item
        End If
        Return createDataBindingItem1
    End Get
End Property

Note

Items added using this event are not shown when the menu is invoked with a right-click on a property (see PGridOptionsView.ShowRowBrick).

You can also customize the brick buttons by handling the PropertyGridControl.CustomDrawRowBrick event.
