Hi arnold,

Thank you for this question.

Yes, you can insert a menu strip inside the RadGridView. This can be done inside the CellFormatting event.

Please refer to the following code snippet:

this.radGridView1.CellFormatting += new CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);
GridViewCommandColumn column = new GridViewCommandColumn();
column.HeaderText = "Action";
void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridCommandCellElement)
    {
        if (e.CellElement.Children[0] is RadButtonElement )
        {
            e.CellElement.Children.Clear();
            RadDropDownButtonElement buttonElement = new RadDropDownButtonElement();
            buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 1"));
            buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 2"));
            buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 3"));
            e.CellElement.Children.Add(buttonElement);
            ThemeResolutionService.GetStyleSheetBuilder(buttonElement, "Office2007Silver").BuildStyle(buttonElement);
        }
    }
}
