RadMenuStrip supports multiline text in its items - instead of truncating long text, it is displayed on several lines. This is achieved through a label which RadMenuStrip uses for its text field.
Images and text can be displayed on menuitems as well. You can customize the image-text relation by setting the TextImageRelation property. Possible values are: Overlay, ImageAboveText, TextAboveImage, TextBeforeImage, and ImageBeforeText. 

You can nest any RadControl or custom element within RadMenuStrip. This feature gives you enormous flexibility in building functionality into applications and allows you to create complex custom user interfaces featuring text boxes, combo boxes, or other custom elements within the menu area.

RadMenuStrip delivers convenience with full support for Shortcuts, Accelerator Keys, and Arrow-key navigation.
RadMenuStrip can be assigned shortcuts through the Shortcuts component - the base of the whole shortcuts system implemented for the descendants of RadControl and RadItem. The component serializes InputBinding objects as a collection. Every InputBinding object binds keyboard shortcut used for activation, a valid Command instance, and a command context which is the object that will be the target of the command's execution.

Using the powerful API of RadMenuStrip you can have Checked, Unchecked, Disabled, or regular menu items.

You can specify the way the RadMenuStrip is oriented on the page, i.e. Horizontal (default) or Vertical. When Orientation is set, its value determines the flow of the root group as well.

Text within each main item can be angled to fit your particular case, regardless of the orientation. You can have it horizontal, vertical or at an arbitrary angle.

With RadMenuStrip you can Add and Remove items programmatically at run time. When adding new Items, they are appended to the existing items in the same menu using the Add(Item) method. Removing items hides them from the menu.
