There are rumors that Windows "Vienna" will radically change the Ux, including using Pie Menus. It would be nice if Dx would create the first .NET pie menu implementation (of which I am aware). You can find more information about pie menus at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_menus.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a Pie-Menu
Implement a Pie-Menu

We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).
Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.
Now that the next version of Office will have Radial (pie) Menus, now would be the time to create these for your touch interface. It would be nice if they were included to interact with the standard set of DevExpress components as well as a standalone to handle application specific commands.
A VCL version would be nice as well.
We will take your additional information into account. I have created the Implement a radial menu similar to that found in Microsoft Office OneNote 2013 ticket to implement this menu for VCL.
