Has anyone successfully re-created the ECB menu on the Data Form web part?

I'd like to use the Data Form web part to display list content from a list in a different site. I'd also like to show the ECB menu as well to show view properties, edit properties, edit in Microsoft Word (if it is a Word document), etc.

I suppose it is just an exercise in XSLT, but I'd like to know if someone has cracked this nut before and has an example.

From stackoverflow

• AFAIK the ECB can only be created on a SPGridView.

  Here is a tutorial link that shows creating the ECB on the grid.

  Kirk Liemohn : Nice link and a decent alternative if I cannot use the Data Form web part, but hopefully I don't have to go down that path.
