Drag and drop SimpleButton, ImageCollection and RadialMenu controls from the Visual Studio toolbox into your form designer.

Next, Add item to the RadialMenu control, then add icon to the BarLargeButtonItem.

Finally, Open your form code behind, then add a click event handler to the Show button that allows you to show the radial menu.

private void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Point p = this.Location;
    p.Offset(this.Width / 2, this.Height / 2);
    radialMenu1.ShowPopup(p);
}

Selecting the item on RadialMenu control, then add a click event handler to the BarLargeButtonItem.

private void barLargeButtonItem1_ItemClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs e)
{
    XtraMessageBox.Show("Thank you for watching this video !", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}

It will show a message box when clicking the item on radial menu.
