Roadmap

We plan to enhance PDFViewer with built-in AI capabilities that help users quickly understand and work with large or complex documents. Instead of manually scrolling and searching, users will be able to ask questions in natural language and receive concise answers or summaries directly within the viewer.

 

We are introducing a Multiline Entry component designed for scenarios where users need to write longer, free-form text such as chat messages, comments, descriptions, notes or feedback forms. It provides a richer input experience than the standard single-line entry while staying lightweight and easy to integrate.

The Multiline Entry will support configurable auto-grow behavior (expanding up to a max height), scrollable content, placeholder text, character counters and validation messages. It will integrate with the existing theming system, work seamlessly with form components and data binding, and provide full keyboard support for editing and navigation on both mobile and desktop.

 

We are investing in consistent, accessible keyboard support throughout Telerik UI for .NET MAUI. The goal is to ensure that users can efficiently navigate, edit and interact with your application using only the keyboard, without relying on mouse or touch.

 

We are introducing a Circular Slider component that enables users to select values using an intuitive radial UI, ideal for scenarios such as volume/brightness controls, timers, progress selection and other touch-first interactions.

The Circular Slider will support configurable minimum and maximum values, step, start and end angles, and value snapping, along with options for ticks, labels and value tooltips. It will integrate with the existing theming system for consistent styling and will expose the usual data binding and events so you can easily react to value changes in your application logic.

This component is designed to work great on both mobile and desktop, providing a smooth and visually appealing alternative to traditional linear sliders and numeric input controls.

 

We’re introducing PromptBox, a new component built for prompting and chat communication in AI-powered applications. Designed to support both simple and advanced prompt patterns, PromptBox offers structured input areas, inline guidance, prompt templates, and seamless integration with your AI backend of choice. Whether you’re building an AI assistant, a semantic search experience, or an automated workflow, PromptBox helps developers create consistent, high-quality prompts with ease. This component marks a key step in our vision to make Telerik UI for .NET MAUI fully AI-ready and accelerate the development of intelligent applications. 

 

The Chat component continues to evolve as our go-to interface for both human-to-human and human-to-AI communication. Following major updates in 2025, we’re further enhancing its UI/UX and expanding its feature set to deliver a smoother, more reliable messaging experience. Upcoming improvements include quality-of-life additions such as a scroll-to-bottom button, failed-message states, and many other usability features. These enhancements ensure the Chat component remains intuitive, modern, and ready for advanced conversational scenarios across your applications. 

 

An AI-powered enhancement that streamlines data entry by transforming unstructured pasted content into structured form inputs. Users can copy text from emails, documents, or messages and paste it once, with the component intelligently mapping each piece to the correct fields based on context. This reduces manual typing, improves accuracy, and boosts efficiency. Smart Paste can be added to any form or other component with minimal setup and supports integration with any AI provider for content analysis. It offers a fast, context-aware paste experience that dramatically improves productivity. 

 

• Intent-aware results – search that understands synonyms, related terms, and contextual relationships - for example, typing “vehicle” can also surface results for “car” or “automobile” when relevant. 

• Keyword precision – exact symbol-by-symbol search. 

• Inline AI Prompts - commands and suggestions triggered through natural language. 

 

Telerik UI for .NET MAUI will fully support the official .NET 11 release. Our team is committed to ensuring seamless compatibility from day one, delivering a smooth upgrade path for developers, and taking full advantage of all performance, tooling, and framework improvements introduced in .NET 11.

 

 

 

We closely monitor your suggestions, and based on your feedback, we will gradually improve our existing components. Keep an eye on future improvements to the DataGrid, CollectionView, DataPager, Combobox components, and many others.

 

 

We will enhance the Map control by introducing marker support, enabling users to place and customize markers on the map. This feature will allow developers to create interactive and visually rich maps by marking specific locations, providing contextual information, and improving user experiences in location-based scenarios.

 

Key enhancements coming to Document Processing Libraries:

• AI-assisted Word & Excel APIs integration via MCP Server ( PDF support already released)
• GenAI-powered insights for Excel documents ( PDF & Word support already released)
• PDF/UA-compliant accessible document generation ( released)
• PDF Document signing improvements
• Optimized Excel formulas recalculation
• Cross-platform text measurer with SkiaSharp & HarfBuzzSharp ( released)

This Telerik UI for .NET MAUI ComboBox search enhancement will allow displaying only the items that match your search criteria.

RadListView has been marked as obsolete in November 2024.

This decision comes as part of our move towards RadCollectionView, a modernized and complete rewrite of the RadListView control. RadCollectionView offers significant improvements, including superior performance optimized for handling larger data sets, expanded functionality and customization options, and a modernized design that provides a more efficient and flexible experience.

RadCollectionView incorporates all the essential features of RadListView, ensuring a smooth transition for developers.

 

 

We're excited to share news about our upcoming Theming Mechanism in UI for .NET MAUI. It's a big step forward in giving developers more control and flexibility over how their apps look. This feature isn't just about having light and dark modes, it's about offering a variety of themes for all platforms, making sure apps can look modern and match what your users expect.
