Acknowledge and Silence Single Alarm in DeltaV Operate Alarm Page

How can I edit the right click option on the Alarm List and select the available "Acknowledge Single Alarm" and add the Silence Horn (frsCommonTasks "HornDisable") ?

  Alarmlist is an ActiveX object and you can't add that option. The only options you can do is on the Object Properties and Actions Tab shown below:

  Thank you for your response. So the standard practice is when an alarm comes in is to: 1. Click on the alarm to acknowledge it, then 2. Click the button to silence all alarms?
  
  In the past, we had an acknowledge and silence all button, which I had to remove because we had a flood of alarms and the operator missed one that cause a process issue.
  
  How can I access the ActiveX object Alarmlist so I can modify the DeltaV Alarm Summary Configuration?

  you can't modify the ActiveX object, just select those options.
  
  You can create a KeyMacro on User Global item like using ESC key that when operators hit will do one or both of those actions and you can write the scrip (I think this will work for both)t:
  On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
  AcknowledgeAllAlarms frsCurrentMainPicName(pn_myMonitor.CurrentValue)
  frsCommonTasks "HornSilence"
  Exit Sub
  ErrorHandler:
  frsHandleError

  Matt...thank you for your replies.
  
  However, I had a button, which I deleted that Acknowledge all alarms in the page and silenced the horn. I am trying to only acknowledge one alarm at a time and silence the horn.
  
  I appreciate your help
