Radial menus have started appearing in sev开发者_开发知识库eral places. I'm curious whether anyone has seen or is working on a radial menu component for Delphi? We have a concept of what we'd like, shown in the animated gif at http://jmrsoftware.delaneyjoi.com/wheel.gif. (It takes about 10 seconds for the menu animation to start.)

Does anyone know of a component for Delphi that has similar functionality?

Thanks


Radial or "pie" menus are underrated but are praised in HCI circles for being easy to use in a precise fashion. People find it easier to remember the path to an item on a radial menu that on a traditional linear-style menu, where the cursor needs to stay within a precise area to prevent a whole cascade of submenus from disappearing.

I've not seen a Delphi component that does it, but having coded them before in Delphi I'd recommend a package like Graphics32, perhaps deriving your pie menu from a paint box or image control that covers the entire form with a transparent overlay, and then renders/animates pie segments on top of that.
