WinForms Radial Menu Control

Associating with other controls

The radial menu can be integrated into a Windows Forms application, providing easy access to end-users.

Hierarchical menu items

Users can group commands and define menu items at multiple levels, starting from the main menu, based on their relevance. For example, users can group edit commands like “Edit” on top, and “Cut,” “Copy,” and “Paste” at the next level.

Appearance customization

• The user can increase or decrease wedge count.
• Users can display text, images, or both through display mode selection. Text can be placed either above or below images.
• The user can enable and disable menu items as needed.
• The gap and thickness in the outer arc can be customized.
• The start angle of the arc can be customized.

Image Size Customization

The image size of radial menu items can be changed.

Radial Numeric Slider

Provides a pointer to move over the built-in numeric slider, thereby allowing users to customize values such as font size. The minimum and maximum range of the number slider can be customized.

Radial Font ListBox

Provides a built-in font listbox, thereby allowing users to change font names dynamically. Each font list item’s height can be customized.

Keyboard Accessibility

The Radial Menu control supports key tips for menu items, letting users quickly access a command in a few keystrokes. When the Alt key is pressed, key tips for the Radial Menu items will be displayed. Pressing a key indicated in the key tip invokes the corresponding command.
