Round Menu Style

[Asif]

Hi all,

I want to use the menu style done at   http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/
which displays round Menu control at Bottom-Left  "Browse Control"  and on mouser Enter it expands to Visualization, Data, Navigation, Input, Containers ... How can I get the same control for this kind of navigation style?
I dont want the default style of loading menu from top-left of the screen ie all general application has.
Please guide me from where I can get that control.

Hi Asif,

The bottom-left ball control is not RadMenu, but a custom Control, made especially for the online demo application. You could see its source code if you open the Examples solution, that comes with our installation.

Hi,

From your reply I am confused with "Examples Solution" which example solution?
"Examples solution, that comes with our installation."

Can you provide the link or reference of Examples Solution it would be more helpful for me?

Hello Asif,

Assuming that you have installed RadControls for Silverlight in their default location, the path to the solution should be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q2 2010\Demos

or in case you have 32bit OS:

C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q2 2010\Demos

Examples

Please suggest in which I can find the Round Custom Control in it.

How can I implement that BallControl in my current project?

Hello Asif,

The XAML file definition is placed in QuickStartTheme_SL/Resources/BallProgressControl.xaml and the CodeBhind is in QuickStart_SL/Controls/BallControl.cs file. You need these two files in order two use the ball.

Thanks for your quick response.

Now my query is, Will the above files will work on VS 2008 and Silverlight 3. My current project is on VS 2008, hence I can't upgrade to VS 2010.

Hello Asif,

All of the projects are built against the SL4. We haven't actually tried to run them in SL3. Fill free to experiment with them.

Thanks for your support!!

Will these work with "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" Edition.

Hello Asif,
 
We create our software mainly using the Visual Studio Edition. So my answer is that it may work but it may also not work.
