This article explains how to control the appearance of the return key button and the command that runs when the user presses the return key in Syncfusion Xamarin.Forms MaskedEdit.

The above image shows the return key is customized to the search button key. It can be achieved by the following steps:

Step1: Create an instance of SfMaskedEdit.

Step 2: Add the ReturnType Property to the SfMaskedEdit. It can be customized by setting the ReturnType property to a search value of the ReturnType enumeration.

Step 3: Add the ReturnCommand to run when the user presses the return key. You can also pass the parameter to the ICommand using the ReturnCommandParameter property.
