Roadmap

Q4 and moving forward, we are continuously enhancing the AI Coding Assistant based on user feedback, ongoing testing, and the latest AI advancements. Our goal is to make it even smarter, faster, and more reliable, so you can focus on building great applications while the assistant takes care of the heavy lifting.

This is part of our long-term commitment to bringing AI-powered innovation into Telerik for .NET MAUI, helping developers achieve more with less effort and setting the foundation for the future of intelligent application development.

 

 

We’re introducing a new Skeleton control for .NET MAUI to help developers create modern, responsive loading experiences. The Skeleton control will provide configurable placeholder shapes and animations while data or content is being loaded, improving perceived performance and offering a polished, professional look for apps.

 

The upcoming release will focus on refinements that position our Chat UI as the most polished and competitive on the market. Key updates include improved message bubbles with improved timestamp placement and dynamic border-radius adjustments based on message order, plus an in-bubble typing indicator to show when participants are actively responding. We’re also improving attachment handling and scrolling for a smoother experience, and enriching chat views with time-break markers (e.g., “Today,” “Yesterday,” specific dates), a customizable empty-chat template for welcome content, scrollable suggestions when the list grows long, and visual user-status indicators. Together, these enhancements create a more seamless, engaging, and modern chat experience.

 

Telerik UI for .NET MAUI will fully support the official .NET 10 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 10.

 

 

We are introducing a new Bottom Sheet component: a reusable UI element that provides an intuitive way to display additional information, navigation links, or actions without leaving the current context. Appearing as an overlay from the bottom of the screen, the Bottom Sheet offers users a focused view of contextual content and presents a set of actions that require user decisions. It is designed to fit seamlessly into mobile and desktop applications, helping users stay in context while accessing relevant options or details. Developers will be able to customize its content, behavior, and styling to match the look and feel of their applications.

 

The TreeDataGrid control is designed to elevate the user experience by providing a powerful and intuitive way to display and interact with hierarchical data. This new component allows users to handle complex data structures more effectively, presenting them in a clean, organized, and easy-to-navigate format. By combining the functionality of a tree view and a data grid, it reduces complexity while enhancing the visual presentation and performance of applications.

 

 

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)

We will enhance the DataGrid component to enable users to align the aggregate results in the group header row. While aggregate results for grouped data have been supported previously, this enhancement ensures that the group header row is divided into cells aligned with the respective columns, displaying the aggregate results in a structured and visually consistent manner.

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.
