Hi,

Based on my understanding Do you mean you want to add your own menu choice in a dropdownlist like the one in webpart titile?

If so, you can take good advantage of the default menu in WebParts. You can add your own verb onto the menu and create the corresponding event handler for those custom verbs. Also, you can change the apperance and the style of the default menu.

Here are some materials for you to refer.
