.NET MAUI TemplatedPicker DropDown Styling

By using the DropDownSettings property (of type Telerik.Maui.Controls.PickerDropDownSettings) of the TemplatedPicker, you can modify the appearance of the dropdown. The PickerDropDownSettings class exposes the following Style properties:

• DropDownViewStyle(of type Style with target type telerikInput:PickerDropDownContentView)—Defines the dropdown view style.
• FooterStyle(of type Style with target type telerikInput:PickerPopupFooterView)—Defines the dropdown footer style.
• AcceptButtonStyle(of type Style with target type Button)—Defines the Accept button style.
• CancelButtonStyle(of type Style with target type Button)—Defines the Cancel button style.

The DropDownSettings also provides the following properties for dropdown customization:

• Placement(of type PlacementMode)—Specifies the position of the dropdown, can be set to Bottom, Right, Left, Top, Center or Relative.
• HorizontalOffset \ VerticalOffset—Specifies the horizontal\vertical distance between the dropdown and the TemplatedPicker.
• IsFooterVisible(bool)—Specifies whether the DropDown footer is currently visible. By default, the value is True.
• AcceptButtonText(string)—Defines the text visualized for the Accept button. By default, the text is OK.
• CancelButtonText(string)—Defines the text visualized for the Cancel button. By default, the text is Cancel.
