.NET MAUI Button Styling

The Button provides a set of styling options by exposing properties for customizing its visual appearance.

Styling the Button

To style the Button, you can use the following properties:

• Background (Brush)—Specifies the background brush of the control.
• BackgroundColor (Color)—Specifies the background color of the control.
• BorderColor (Color)—Specifies the border color of the control.
• BorderThickness (Thickness)—Specifies the border thickness of the control. If BorderWidth property is set, it will be used with higher precedence and will override the value of the BorderThickness.
• BorderWidth (double)—Specifies the width of the border, in device-independent units.
• CornerRadius (CornerRadius)—Specifies the corner radius of the control.
• TextColor (Color)—Specifies the color of the Button.Text.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to apply styling to the RadButton.

1. Define the Button in XAML:

• XAML

<VerticalStackLayout Spacing="20" HorizontalOptions="{OnPlatform Default=Start, Android=Center, iOS=Center}">
    <telerik:RadButton Text="Implicit Style" />
    <telerik:RadButton Text="Explicit Style"
                       Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}" />
</VerticalStackLayout>

2. Add the telerik namespace:

• XAML

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

3. Define the resources for explicit button style:

• XAML

<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="telerik:RadButton">
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="12, 8" />
    <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="12" />
    <Setter Property="FontAttributes" Value="Bold" />
    <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#8660C5" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="BorderColor" Value="#DFDFDF" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
    <Setter Property="VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups">
        <Setter.Value>
            <VisualStateGroupList>
                <VisualStateGroup Name="CommonStates">
                    <VisualState Name="Normal" />
                    <VisualState Name="PointerOver">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#F2EFF9" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                    <VisualState Name="Pressed">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#998660C5" />
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#F2EFF9" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                    <VisualState Name="Disabled">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#618660C5" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                </VisualStateGroup>
            </VisualStateGroupList>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

4. Define the resources for implicit button style:

• XAML

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadButton">
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="12, 8" />
    <Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="12" />
    <Setter Property="FontAttributes" Value="Italic" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#00897B" />
    <Setter Property="BorderColor" Value="#DFDFDF" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
    <Setter Property="VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups">
        <Setter.Value>
            <VisualStateGroupList>
                <VisualStateGroup Name="CommonStates">
                    <VisualState Name="Normal" />
                    <VisualState Name="PointerOver">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#E8F5F4" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                    <VisualState Name="Pressed">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#9900897B" />
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#E8F5F4" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                    <VisualState Name="Disabled">
                        <VisualState.Setters>
                            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="#6100897B" />
                        </VisualState.Setters>
                    </VisualState>
                </VisualStateGroup>
            </VisualStateGroupList>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

This is the result on WinUI:
