.NET MAUI CollectionView Events

The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI CollectionView component exposes a set of events that users trigger through interaction. You can handle these events and customize the configuration of the UI component.

Item Events

• ItemTapped—Raised when the user taps on the item. The ItemTapped event handler receives two parameters:

  • The sender argument, which is of type object, but can be cast to the RadCollectionView type.
  • A RadTappedEventArgs object, which has a reference to the tapped item through its Data(T) property.

• GroupTapped—Raised when the user taps on the group item. The GroupTapped event handler receives two parameters:

  • The sender argument, which is of type object, but can be cast to the RadCollectionView type.

  • A RadTappedEventArgs<Telerik.Maui.Controls.CollectionView.GroupContext> object, which has a reference to:

    • the tapped group item through its Data(T) property.

    • the GroupContext represents the object that is passed to the TappedEventArgs for the GroupTapped and the item you have for the GroupViewStyleSelector and GroupHeaderTemplate. The GroupContext includes the following properties:

      • IsExpanded (bool): Defines a value indicating whether the group is currently expanded (has its child items visible).
      • Items (IReadOnlyList<object>): Gets the child items of the group.
      • Key (object): Gets the specific for the group key.
      • Level (int): Gets the zero-based level (or the depth) of the group.

• GroupTapping—Raised when tap is currently performing on the CollectionViewGroupView. The GroupTapping event handler receives two parameters:

  • The sender argument, which is of type object, but can be cast to the RadCollectionView type.

  • A RadTappingEventArgs<Telerik.Maui.Controls.CollectionView.GroupContext> object, which has a reference to:

    • the Cancel (bool) property which can be used to cancel the tapping.

    • the GroupContext represents the object that is passed to the TappedEventArgs for the GroupTapped and the item you have for the GroupViewStyleSelector and GroupHeaderTemplate. The GroupContext includes the following properties:

      • IsExpanded (bool): Defines a value indicating whether the group is currently expanded (has its child items visible).
      • Items (IReadOnlyList<object>): Gets the child items of the group.
      • Key (object): Gets the specific for the group key.
      • Level (int): Gets the zero-based level (or the depth) of the group.

Example: Adding ItemTapped Event

Here is an example that demonstrates the ItemTapped event:

1. Define the RadCollectionView in XAML:

<telerik:RadCollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Locations}"
                           ItemTapped="OnItemTapped"
                           DisplayMemberPath="City">
    <telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
        <local:ViewModel />
    </telerik:RadCollectionView.BindingContext>
</telerik:RadCollectionView>

2. Add the telerik namespace:

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

3. ItemTapped event handler:

private void OnItemTapped(object sender, Telerik.Maui.RadTappedEventArgs<object> e)
{
    var data = e.Data as DataModel;
    Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("", "You have tapped on " + data.City + " located in " + data.Country, "OK");
}

4. Create a sample DataModel:

public class DataModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    private string continent;
    private string country;
    private string city;
    private int id;

    public string Continent
    {
        get => this.continent;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.continent, value);
    }

    public string Country
    {
        get => this.country;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.country, value);
    }

    public string City
    {
        get => this.city;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.city, value);
    }

    public int Id
    {
        get => this.id;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.id, value);
    }
}

5. Define the ViewModel class:

public class ViewModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.Locations = new ObservableCollection<DataModel>
        {
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Graz", Id = 1 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Innsbruck", Id = 2 },
            new DataModel { Continent = "Europe", Country = "Austria", City = "Ratz", Id = 3 },

This is the result for ItemTapped:

For a runnable example demonstrating the CollectionView ItemTapped event or GroupItemTapped event, see the SDKBrowser Demo Application and go to CollectionView > Events category.

Scrolling Events

The CollectionView provides the Scrolled event, which is raised when scrolling is performed. The Scrolled event handler receives two parameters:

• The sender argument, which is the RadCollectionView control.
• A ScrolledEventArgs object, which provides the following properties:
  • ScrollX (double)—The X position of the finished scroll.
  • ScrollY (double)—The Y position of the finished scroll.

For a runnable example demonstrating the CollectionView Scrolled event, see the SDKBrowser Demo Application and go to CollectionView > Events category.

Selection Events

• SelectionChanged—Raised when the current selection changes. The SelectionChanged event handler receives two parameters:
  • The sender argument, which is of type object, but can be cast to the RadCollectionView type.
  • A EventArgs object, which provides information on the SelectionChanged event.
