Remarks

RadialController menu operations, including CreateFromKnownIcon, CreateFromIcon, CreateFromFontGlyph, CreateFromFontGlyph, ResetToDefaultMenuItems, SetDefaultMenuItems, and TrySelectDefaultMenuItem, should be performed on the UI thread. Doing so in a background worker thread can cause issues with event handlers on the UI thread.

UX guidelines for the Surface Dial recommend the following:

Text

  • Names should be short to fit inside the central circle of the wheel menu
  • Names should clearly identify the primary action (a complementary action can be implied)
  • Scroll indicates the effect of both rotation directions
  • Undo specifies a primary action, but redo (the complementary action) can be inferred and easily discovered by the user
