New action in "Edit Menu" for List

Question

In a list, on title you can click the down arrow to the edit menu, from here you can view/edit delete etc...
I want to add a custom action in this menu, or in the ribbon for my list.
I want this action to simply open the current item in a certain pageview I have created in infopath. Thats it.
Any ideas????

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add a custom action in ECB menu to open InfoPath form.
There are two method to achieve it:
(1)SharePoint Designer.
Open the list in SharePoint Designer, click “Custom Action” to create item to navigate to the displayifs.aspx page.

(2)Visual Studio.
 Create Empty SharePoint Project, add feature and element, then deploy the project.
 The Element.xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction
Id="CA_WF_Init"
RegistrationType="List"
RegistrationId="100"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/1033/Images/RTEDCELL.GIF"
Location="EditControlBlock"
Sequence="301"
Title="My Custom ECB Menu Item" >
<UrlAction Url="javascript:(function () {
var o = {
url: 'Item/displayifs.aspx?ID={ItemId}',
title: 'InfoPath Form',
allowMaximize: true,
showClose: true,
width: 700,
height: 500
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(o); }) ();"/>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
If you don’t want to display the page in dialog, you can use:
<UrlAction
Url="Item/displayifs.aspx?ID={ItemId}"/>
The result is as below:
