ApplicationIcon属性改动图标
右键 Add ApplicationMenu 添加evExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.ApplicationMenu5.HitInfo

//在Tab页上点击右键的工作响应（DevExpress使用技巧）
void xtraTabbedMdiManager_Event(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right && ActiveMdiChild != null)
     {
          DevExpress.XtraTab.ViewInfo.BaseTabHitInfo hInfo = xtraTabbedMdiManager.CalcHitInfo(e.Location);
          //右键点击位置：在Page上且不在封闭按钮内
          if (hInfo.IsValid && hInfo.Page != null && !hInfo.InPageCloseButton)
          {
               this.popupMenu.ShowPopup(Control.MousePosition);//在鼠标位置弹出，而不是e.Location
          }
     }
}
//在ribbon上点击右键的工作响应
private void ribbonControl1_ShowCustomizationMenu(object sender, RibbonCustomizationMenuEventArgs e)
{
    //禁掉原系统右键菜单
    e.ShowCustomizationMenu = false;

    if (e.HitInfo != null
     && e.HitInfo.InItem
     && e.HitInfo.Item.Item is BarButtonItem)
    {
         this.popupMenu.ShowPopup(Control.MousePosition);
    }
    //右键位置：在barSubItem中的barButtonItem上
    else if (e.Link != null
          && e.Link.Item != null
          && e.Link.Item is BarButtonItem)
    {
         this.popupMenu.ShowPopup(Control.MousePosition);
    }

            {
                DevExpress.XtraTreeList.TreeListHitInfo hi = treeList1.CalcHitInfo(e.Location);
                if (hi.Node != null && hi.Node.ImageIndex == 5) //叶子节点的ImageIndex == 5
                {
                    TreeListNode node = treeList1.FindNodeByID(hi.Node.Id);
                    treeList1.FocusedNode = node;
 
                    this.popupMenu1.ShowPopup(MousePosition);
                }
