How to set the minimum and maximum date for the date editor in .NET MAUI DataForm (SfDataForm)?
The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI DataForm allows you to control the date range a user can select by setting the minimum and maximum dates for date editors. This can be done using the MinimumDisplayDate and MaximumDisplayDate properties.
Register the editors using the RegisterEditor method and change the minimum and maximum dates using the GenerateDataFormItem event by setting the MinimumDisplayDate and MaximumDisplayDate properties in the event.
public class DataFormBehavior : Behavior<SfDataForm>
{
protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfDataForm dataForm)
{
base.OnAttachedTo(dataForm);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("AppointmentDate", DataFormEditorType.Date);
dataForm.RegisterEditor("AppointmentTime", DataFormEditorType.Time);
dataForm.GenerateDataFormItem += OnGenerateDataItem;
}
private void OnGenerateDataItem(object sender, GenerateDataFormItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.DataFormItem != null && e.DataFormItem is DataFormDateItem dateItem)
{
dateItem.MinimumDisplayDate = new DateTime(2022, 12, 05);
dateItem.MaximumDisplayDate = new DateTime(2022, 12, 25);
}
}
}
C#
Bind the DataFormModel property to the DataObject property of the SfDataForm.
XAML
<dataForm:SfDataForm x:Name="dataForm"
DataObject="{Binding DataFormModel}">
<dataForm:SfDataForm.BindingContext>
<local:DataFormViewModel/>
</dataForm:SfDataForm.BindingContext>
<dataForm:SfDataForm.Behaviors>
<local:DataFormBehavior/>
</dataForm:SfDataForm.Behaviors>
</dataForm:SfDataForm>Download the complete sample on GitHub
