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) or Visual Studio Code. For Visual Studio Code users, ensure that the .NET MAUI workload is installed and configured as described here.

Step 1: Create a New 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.
  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. 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;
        }
    }   
}

Step 5: Adding radial menu with items

<ContentPage 
            ...
             xmlns:radialMenu="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu">
        <radialMenu:SfRadialMenu x:Name="radialMenu" 
                                CenterButtonText="Edit"
                                CenterButtonFontSize="15">
            <radialMenu:SfRadialMenu.Items>
                <radialMenu:SfRadialMenuItem Text="Cut"
                                            FontSize="15"/>
                <radialMenu:SfRadialMenuItem Text="Copy"
                                            FontSize="15"/>
                <radialMenu:SfRadialMenuItem Text="Paste"
                                            FontSize="15"/>
                <radialMenu:SfRadialMenuItem Text="Crop"
                                            FontSize="15"/>
                <radialMenu:SfRadialMenuItem Text="Paint"
                                            FontSize="15"/>
            </radialMenu:SfRadialMenu.Items>
        </radialMenu:SfRadialMenu>
</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.RadialMenu;

namespace RadialMenuGettingStarted
{
    public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            SfRadialMenu radialMenu = new SfRadialMenu()
            {
                CenterButtonText = "Edit",
                CenterButtonFontSize = 15
            };

            RadialMenuItemsCollection itemCollection = new RadialMenuItemsCollection();
            itemCollection.Add(new SfRadialMenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Cut",
                FontSize = 15
            });
            itemCollection.Add(new SfRadialMenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Copy",
                FontSize = 15
            });
            itemCollection.Add(new SfRadialMenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Paste",
                FontSize = 15
            });
            itemCollection.Add(new SfRadialMenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Crop",
                FontSize = 15
            });
            itemCollection.Add(new SfRadialMenuItem()
            {
                Text = "Paint",
                FontSize = 15
            });
            radialMenu.Items = itemCollection;
            this.Content = radialMenu;
        }
    }
}
