.NET MAUI Chat Suggested Actions
The RadChat
control enables you to add suggestions for the users. You can achieve this by adding SuggestedActionsItem
instances to the Items
collection of RadChat
.
Adding the Suggested Actions
The following example demonstrates how to create and set up a SuggestedActionsItem
:
c#
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Text = "Hello" });
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Text = "Hi", Author = this.chat.Author });
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Text = "How can I help you?" });
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Text = "I need help with buying some tickets.", Author = this.chat.Author });
this.chat.Items.Add(new TimeBreak() { Text = "Last read (Time Break)" });
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Text = "Here's a list of possible actions:" });
var suggestedActionsItem = new SuggestedActionsItem();
suggestedActionsItem.Actions = this.GetSuggestedActions(suggestedActionsItem);
this.chat.Items.Add(suggestedActionsItem);
Then, the GetSuggestedActions
method populates the Actions
property with a collection of SuggestedAction
items:
c#
private ICollection<SuggestedAction> GetSuggestedActions(SuggestedActionsItem suggestedActionsItem)
{
var actions = new List<SuggestedAction>();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
int actionIndex = i;
actions.Add(new SuggestedAction
{
Text = "Action " + i,
Command = new Command(() =>
{
this.chat.Items.Remove(suggestedActionsItem);
this.chat.Items.Add(new TextMessage { Author = this.chat.Author, Text = "Action " + actionIndex });
}),
});
}
return actions;
}
