TextColor changes on Focus

[John]

In a Xamarin.Forms UWP project, I have a dark background color on my page. I've used the following code for a username entry:

<telerikInput:RadEntry x:Name="UsernameEntry" WidthRequest="100" BorderStyle="{StaticResource EntryBorderStyle}" TextColor="White" BackgroundColor="Transparent" FontSize="30" Focused="IsFocus"/>

When I focus on the entry to type, the typed characters are black, and when unfocused, they turn to white. I want them to always be white, as the black is hard to read against the background color.

I tried the following:

public void IsFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           var obj = (Telerik.XamarinForms.Input.RadEntry)sender;
           obj.TextColor = Color.White;

     }

 

.. but this seems to have no effect either. Any suggestions on how I can keep the focused and unfocused TextColor consistent?

Hello John,

Thank you for the provided code.

The behavior you are observing with the RadEntry on UWP is the expected one by default. The RadEntry control uses the native UWP TextBox style. I have created a sample that shows how to modify the default style of the native TextBox control in order to change the text color of the RadEntry in UWP.

Please take a look at the App.xaml file in UWP project and let me know if you have any additional questions.
