One thing that always annoyed was that the context menu in list items in SharePoint 2007 was on the title field or alternatively you had to put in an ‘Edit’ button.
Well no more in SharePoint 2010 as now you can easily customise a view to show the ECB on any field within a list.
1) Within any list click on Library (or List) -> Modify View -> Modify in SharePoint Designer (Advanced). This will open the list up in
Modify in SPD Option
2) For any field wait until you see the little < icon and then select the appropriate option from the men.
Common xsl options
Show List Item Menu: This will attach the context menu to the list item
Show Link To Item: This will take the user to the DispForm.aspx for the item.
