Multiline TextInput

Updated on Feb 9, 2026

The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Multiline TextInput is a control that allows users to enter and edit multiple lines of text.

The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Editor is a templated control, with a ControlTemplate, and in that ControlTemplate there are borders, a close button, and a Multiline TextInput.

The Multiline TextInput exposes the following properties:

• SelectionOnFocus (enum of type Telerik.Maui.SelectionOnFocus)—Specifies the text selection behavior when the Editor control receives focus. The available options are:

  • (Default) Unchanged—The selection will not be modified.
  • CursorAtStart—The cursor will be moved at the start of the text.
  • CursorAtEnd—The cursor will be moved at the end of the text.
  • SelectAll—The whole text will be selected.

• Padding (Thickness)—Defines the padding.

• MaxLines (string)—Defines the maximum number of lines to display before the control stops growing. The default value is 0, so there is no limit.

• Text (string)—Defines the text of the Multiline TextInput.

• MinimumHeightRequest (string)—Defines the minimum height the element will request during layout.

The RadMultilineTextInput control inherits from the Microsoft.Maui.Editor control.
