I thought it would be cool to try building a reusable container control so I came up with CoolMenu. You really have to try this one out to get the full experience, a screen shot just doesn't do it justice. CoolMenu is a Silverlight container control that gives you a nice wave-like effect as you move your mouse over the menu items. Clicking a menu item causes the item to bounce.
You could probably use this control in many scenarios. Other than the obvious menu navigation scenario, some potential possibilities include:
- Card Game - Show your current hand
- Photo Gallery - Show the pictures in the gallery and click to select the picture.
- Toolbar - Activate a tool in your application or a weapon in a game.
Feel free to use this in your applications, I've provided the source code and a live demo below. Enjoy!
