How to add a custom password editor in .NET MAUI DataForm (SfDataForm)?

2 mins read

In the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI DataForm, you can extend functionality by adding a custom password editor. Follow this guide to achieve this customization.

C#

You can register the custom password editor using the RegisterEditor method.

protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfDataForm dataForm)
{
   base.OnAttachedTo(dataForm);
   if (dataForm != null)
   {
       dataForm.RegisterEditor("Password", new CustomPasswordEditor(dataForm));
       dataForm.RegisterEditor("RetypePassword", new CustomPasswordEditor(dataForm));
   }
}

C#

Create a custom class by inheriting the IDataFormEditor interface. Customize the editor using the CreateEditorView, CommitValue, and UpdateReadOnly methods.

public class CustomPasswordEditor : IDataFormEditor
{
   private SfDataForm customdataForm;

   public CustomPasswordEditor(SfDataForm customdataForm)
   {
       this.customdataForm = customdataForm;
   }
   public void CommitValue(DataFormItem dataFormItem, View view)
   {
   }
   public View CreateEditorView(DataFormItem dataFormItem)
   {
       Entry inputView = new Entry();
       inputView.Keyboard = Keyboard.Text;
       inputView.BackgroundColor = Colors.AliceBlue;
       inputView.Placeholder = dataFormItem.FieldName;
       DataFormTextStyle textstle = this.customdataForm.EditorTextStyle;
       inputView.MaxLength = 8;
       inputView.PlaceholderColor = Colors.Navy;
       return inputView;
   }
   public void UpdateReadyOnly(DataFormItem dataFormItem)
   {
   }
}

Output:
