How I can put in Start Menu the list of active MDIchildren forms?

In MenuStrip of .NET the code is:

Hi dp,

Thank you for writing.

RadRibbonBar's start menu has not support build in MDI windows menu. Nevertheless, you could easily implement it. Please, review the code-block below as example:
 
Private Sub AddMenuItems() 
    For Each form As Form In Me.MdiChildren 
        Dim radMenuItem As New RadMenuItem(form.Text) 
        AddHandler radMenuItem.Click, AddressOf radMenuItem_Click 
        Me.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Add(radMenuItem) 
    Next 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub radMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As EventArgs) 
    Dim item As RadMenuItem = TryCast(sender, RadMenuItem) 
    For i As Integer = 0 To Me.MdiChildren.Length - 1 
         
        If Me.MdiChildren(i).Text = item.Text Then 
            Me.MdiChildren(i).Focus() 
            Exit For 
        End If 
    Next 
End Sub

Hello dp,

Thank you for getting back to me.

You could change background color of RadMenuItem by changing background colors of its FillPrimitive element. Please, take a look at code-block below:
 
TryCast(radMenuItem.Children(0), FillPrimitive).BackColor = Color.Red 
TryCast(radMenuItem.Children(0), FillPrimitive).GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid 
TryCast(radMenuItem.Children(0), FillPrimitive).NumberOfColors = 1 

If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me again.
 

All the best,
