This looks really interesting. If you could click on an item have it become the focused value then I could see it replacing my List boxes.

Still, I really liked the way it looked and handled.

Paul,
That is certainly do-able with some changes to the layout-code. I based this implementation on the diagram that one of the readers sent.

Glad you are liking the book.

Pavan,

As a comment to this post, next addition would be to add an option to make it loop forever, like Dr. WPF did with his “N is for Natural User Interface” post.

Then we could end up with something very similar to the iPhone dial controls that allow one to select time, and days. The ones on the iPhone->Clock->Timer page.or the calendar->new event->starttime.

Great book by the way. Bought it last week and am most of the way through it.
Thanks for all of the help your posts have provided over the last few years.

I’ve got a suggestion for a layout – how about reproducing the “now playing” interface on the Zune 4.0 software – the one that is a grid of different sized album covers. That should be a good mathematical exercise…
