I have a UI that uses a ring control. The problem is that usability decreases as the number of items increases. It would be nice if I could categorize the options kind of like the Windows Start menu. Has anyone done something like this?

You can do those in 8. --------------------

Mike Holmstrom did a custom OO-based right click menu a couple of years ago - I'm sure that could be modified pretty easily to work the way you want, although it needs the Endevo OO toolkit to work. --------------------

maybe you could use a cascading contextual menu instead. See attached example
