You can display a context menu when the user interacts with the notify icon with the help of the TrayContextMenu property.

TrayContextMenu

The TrayContextMenu property expects a value of type RadContextMenu. Example 1 demonstrates how it can be used.

C#

void SetContextMenu()
{
	RadNotifyIcon radNotifyIcon = new RadNotifyIcon();
	radNotifyIcon.TrayIcon = new System.Drawing.Icon("../../WinForms128x28.ico");
	radNotifyIcon.ContextMenuActivationMouseEvent = MouseActivationEvent.RightClick;
	radNotifyIcon.ShowTrayIcon = true;
	radNotifyIcon.PopupContent = new UserControl1();          
	var contextMenu = new RadContextMenu();
	contextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 1"));
	contextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 2"));
	contextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 3"));
	radNotifyIcon.TrayContextMenu = contextMenu;
}

VB.NET

Private Sub SetContextMenu()
	Dim radNotifyIcon As RadNotifyIcon = New RadNotifyIcon()
    radNotifyIcon.TrayIcon = New System.Drawing.Icon("../../WinForms128x28.ico")
    radNotifyIcon.ContextMenuActivationMouseEvent = MouseActivationEvent.RightClick
    radNotifyIcon.ShowTrayIcon = True
    radNotifyIcon.PopupContent = New UserControl1()
    Dim contextMenu = New RadContextMenu()
    contextMenu.Items.Add(New RadMenuItem("Item 1"))
    contextMenu.Items.Add(New RadMenuItem("Item 2"))
    contextMenu.Items.Add(New RadMenuItem("Item 3"))
    radNotifyIcon.TrayContextMenu = contextMenu
End Sub
