How to customize the check box editor color in .NET MAUI DataForm (SfDataForm)?
The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI DataForm (SfDataForm) allows for extensive customization of its editors, including the Check Box Editor. By using the Color property of the DataFormCheckBoxItem in the GenerateDataFormItem event, you can easily change the color of the check box when AutoGenerateItems is set to true.
First, set up the GenerateDataFormItem event handler in your data form to customize the appearance of the check box editor.
C#:
private SfDataForm dataForm;
protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable)
{
base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
this.dataForm = bindable.FindByName<SfDataForm>("dataForm");
if (dataForm != null )
{
dataForm.ItemsSourceProvider = new ItemSourceProvider();
dataForm.RegisterEditor("Gender", DataFormEditorType.RadioGroup);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("Address", DataFormEditorType.MultilineText);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("Country", DataFormEditorType.AutoComplete);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("City", DataFormEditorType.ComboBox);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("ReadyToRelocate", DataFormEditorType.Switch);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("BirthDate", DataFormEditorType.Date);
dataForm.GenerateDataFormItem += OnGenerateDataFormItem;
}
}
In the OnGenerateDataFormItem event, check if the data item is a DataFormCheckBoxItem and set its color using the Color property.
C#:
private void OnGenerateDataFormItem(object sender, GenerateDataFormItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.DataFormItem!= null)
{
if (e.DataFormItem.FieldName == "FirstGraduate" && e.DataFormItem is DataFormCheckBoxItem checkBoxItem)
{
checkBoxItem.Color = Colors.DarkCyan;
}
}
}
The default color value for the check box is default(Color).
