Getting Started with .NET MAUI Radial Menu

This section guides you through setting up and configuring a RadialMenu in your .NET MAUI application. Follow the steps below to add a basic RadialMenu to your project.

To quickly get started with the .NET MAUI Radial Menu, watch this video.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 8 SDK or later is installed.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio 2022 (v17.3 or later).

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI Project

  1. Go to File > New > Project and choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  2. Name the project and choose a location. Then, click Next.
  3. Select the .NET framework version and click Create.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI RadialMenu NuGet Package

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Manage NuGet Packages.
  2. Search for Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu and install the latest version.
  3. Ensure the necessary dependencies are installed correctly, and the project is restored.

Step 3: Register the handler

Syncfusion.Maui.Core NuGet is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
	    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	    {
	        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		    builder
			    .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
			    .UseMauiApp<App>()
			    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			    {
				    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
				    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
			    });

		    return builder.Build();
	    }
    }

Step 4: Add a RadialMenu

  1. To initialize the control, import the RadialMenu namespace into your code.
  2. Initialize RadialMenu 
<ContentPage
    . . .    
    xmlns:radialMenu="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu">
    <StackLayout>
        <radialMenu:SfRadialMenu />
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu;
namespace RadialMenuGettingStarted
{
    public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();           
            StackLayout stackLayout = new StackLayout();
            SfRadialMenu radialMenu = new SfRadialMenu();
            stackLayout.Children.Add(radialMenu);
            this.Content = stackLayout;
        }
    }   
}

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following are set up:

  1. Install .NET 8 SDK or later is installed.
  2. Set up a .NET MAUI environment with Visual Studio Code.
  3. Ensure that the .NET MAUI extension is installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a new .NET MAUI Project

  1. Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type .NET:New Project and enter.
  2. Choose the .NET MAUI App template.
  3. Select the project location, type the project name and press Enter.
  4. Then choose Create project.

Step 2: Install the Syncfusion® MAUI RadialMenu NuGet Package

  1. Press Ctrl + ` (backtick) to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
  3. Run the command dotnet add package Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu to install the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI RadialMenu package.
  4. To ensure all dependencies are installed, run dotnet restore.

Step 3: Register the handler

Syncfusion.Maui.Core NuGet is a dependent package for all Syncfusion® controls of .NET MAUI. In the MauiProgram.cs file, register the handler for Syncfusion® core.

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
	    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	    {
	        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		    builder
			    .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
			    .UseMauiApp<App>()
			    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			    {
				    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
				    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
			    });

		    return builder.Build();
	    }
    }

Step 4: Add a RadialMenu

  1. To initialize the control, import the RadialMenu namespace into your code.
  2. Initialize RadialMenu 
<ContentPage
    . . .    
    xmlns:radialMenu="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu">
    <StackLayout>
        <radialMenu:SfRadialMenu />
