Prerequisites

Before adding the Button, you need to:

1. Set up your .NET MAUI application.

2. Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

3. Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

Define the Control

1. When your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add a Button control to your page:

• XAML

<telerik:RadButton x:Name="button"
                   Text="Click me!" />

2. Add the telerik namespace:

• XAML

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

• C#

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;
public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseTelerik()
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
            });
        return builder.Build();
    }
}
