# .NET MAUI CollectionView Drop Indicator Styling

The drop indicator appears while dragging an item inside the CollectionView to notify the end user where the item can be dropped. To style the drop indicator, create an implicit style and set its `TargetType` to `CollectionViewDropIndicator`.

Check a quick example with a modified `CollectionViewDropIndicator`:

**1.** Add the following sample implicit style to the page's resources:

```XAML
            <Style TargetType="telerik:CollectionViewDropIndicator">
   <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="3" />
   <Setter Property="StrokeColor" Value="#00897B" />
            </Style>
```

**2.** Add the `RadCollectionView` instance to the page:

```XAML
<telerik:RadCollectionView x:Name="collectionView"
                           ItemsSource="{Binding Locations}"
                           DisplayMemberPath="City"
                           IsDragDropEnabled="True"
                           SelectionMode="Single">
    <telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
        <local:ViewModel />
    </telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
</telerik:RadCollectionView>
```

For the purpose of the example, use the `ViewModel` and `DataModel` classes from the [Drag and Drop Overview](https://www.telerik.com/maui-ui/documentation/controls/collectionview/drag-and-drop/overview) topic.

Check the result below:
