While working with MDI_DynamicInnerOuterBars example I noticed that if you right click on "Outer Dynamic Bars" you get popup with options of (Float/Dock/tabbed document/hide). However if you rightclick "MDIDOC1" you dont get that popup. Is there an easy option to enable popup MDIDOC1.

MDIDOC1 is associated with the simple MDI child frame window which is a completely different type of window. Why do you think it should have that menu?

Well you are limited to MainFrame Client screen area for all simple MDI child frames. Any child window that goes out, is clipped. This limits it usage in Multi-Monitor cases. However if you have Float option, like the one you have for OuterBars then you can easily move that window across monitors.

We would like to draw your attention to a much simpler but equally featured application related to dynamic resizable control bars, which is SDI_DynamicBars. It is an SDI application which uses a tab page container as the main view window. Any dynamic control bar in the document mode is a child page window in the tab page container. This looks similar to the MDI tabbed interface, but the tab pages can only be maximized. Of course, any dynamic control bar can be switched into the floating mode and placed on any available monitor.
