Empty ListView

[Cleanwatts]

When the RadListView is empty (no items) it shows the text "No data" in the top left corner.

How can I customize (change text, position, style or hide) that text?

Hi, 

The behavior you are referring to should be present only in the UWP platform. You can easily avoid it by applying the following custom renderer:

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Telerik.XamarinForms.DataControls.RadListView), typeof(CustomListViewRenderer))]
namespace RadListViewNoData.UWP.CustomListViewRenderer
{
    class CustomListViewRenderer : Telerik.XamarinForms.DataControlsRenderer.UWP.ListViewRenderer
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<RadListView> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            this.Control.EmptyContent = string.Empty;
        }
    }
}

Please give it a try and update the thread whether it works for you. I have attached a sample for your reference as well.

Have a great rest of the week.

Hello, 

Actually, the native control in UWP has a dedicated property on whether to show the content or not, so you can directly disable it this way:

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<RadListView> e)
     {
         base.OnElementChanged(e);
         this.Control.EmptyContentDisplayMode = Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Data.EmptyContentDisplayMode.None;
     }
