## Key Features

* [View settings](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radbadge/view)—The Badge enables you to specify the Badge position based on its content through the `RadBadgeView` wrapper class. To control the relative Badge position to the content object of the `RadBadgeView`, use the `BadgePosition` property.

* [Types](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radbadge/types)—You can choose between various predefined Badge types and apply a custom geometry to the component if none of the predefined types works for you.

* [Animations](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radbadge/animations)—You can choose whether to render an animation when the Badge loads or when a status change occurs.

* [Flexible styling API](https://www.telerik.com/winui/documentation/controls/radbadge/styling)—The Badge enables you to customize its appearance by using the `Background`, `Geometry`, `Stroke`, and other properties.
