C#
Copy
class MyBackgroundContextMenu : BackgroundContextMenu
{
    protected override void SetupMenuItems()
    {
         base.SetupMenuItems();
        ToolStripMenuItem myItem = new ToolStripMenuItem("My Additional Item");
        myItem.Click += myItem_Click;
        Items.Add(myItem);
        //hide a default item:
        //this.Actualize.Visible = false;
    }

    void myItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("additional item clicked");
    }
}
//Eventhandler for the Load event of a form:
private void JamExplorerMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
