Labels

The RangeSlider for .NET MAUI can show labels along the track for clarity of what the underlying min-max range is.

Labels Step and Placement

To display labels, define the LabelStep and LabelPlacement properties of the RangeSlider.

• LabelStep(double)—Defines at what positions/values labels will be displayed.
• LabelsPlacement(type Telerik.Maui.Controls.RangeSlider.SliderLabelsPlacement)—Specifies the position of the labels in the RangeSlider with respect to its track. The available options are:
  • None—no labels are displayed.
  • Start—labels appear above the track.
  • End—labels appear below the track.

Check an example on how labels can be configured:

<telerik:RadRangeSlider x:Name="rangeSlider"
                        Minimum="0"
                        Maximum="100"
                        RangeStart="10"
                        RangeEnd="60"
                        TicksPlacement="End"
                        TickStep="5"
                        LabelsPlacement="End"
                        LabelStep="10" />

Labels Formatting

Through the formatting properties you can easily modify only the labels text by applying a custom format.

• StringFormat(string)—Defines a custom string format for the labels and the tooltips of the RangeSlider.
• StringConverter(Telerik.Maui.IStringConverter)—Specifies a custom string converter that can be used to define the content of a label or a tooltip for a given range slider value.

Here is a quick example with a custom string converter:

1. Add the following sample Dictionary String Converter to your resources—in short, it replaces the values of the range with meaningful names in order to make the range more readable:

<telerik:DictionaryStringConverter x:Key="LowMidHighConverter">
    <telerik:DictionaryStringConverterItem Key="{x:Double 1}" Value="Low" />
    <telerik:DictionaryStringConverterItem Key="{x:Double 2}" Value="Mid-Low" />
    <telerik:DictionaryStringConverterItem Key="{x:Double 3}" Value="Mid" />
    <telerik:DictionaryStringConverterItem Key="{x:Double 4}" Value="Mid-High" />
    <telerik:DictionaryStringConverterItem Key="{x:Double 5}" Value="High" />
</telerik:DictionaryStringConverter>

2. Define the RangeSlider with the converter applied:

    <telerik:RadRangeSlider Minimum="1"
                            Maximum="5"
                            TickStep="1"
                            LabelStep="2"
                            RangeStart="2"
                            RangeEnd="4"
                            SnapMode="SnapToTicks"
                            TicksPlacement="Start"
                            LabelsPlacement="Start"
                            StringConverter="{StaticResource LowMidHighConverter}" />
</VerticalStackLayout>

Label Template

You can customize what the RangeSlider labels render through the LabelTemplate property.

• LabelTemplate (DataTemplate)—Defines the template of the RangeSlider labels.

Check below a sample LabelTemplate example:

1. First define the custom DataTemplate:

<DataTemplate x:Key="CustomLabelTemplate">
    <Label Text="{Binding}" 
           FontSize="16"
           TextColor="#674BB2" />
</DataTemplate>

2. Apply it to the RangeSlider's LabelTemplate:

<telerik:RadRangeSlider x:Name="rangeSlider"
                        Minimum="0"
                        Maximum="100"
                        RangeStart="10"
                        RangeEnd="60"
                        TicksPlacement="End"
                        TickStep="5"
                        LabelsPlacement="End"
                        LabelStep="10"
                        LabelTemplate="{StaticResource CustomLabelTemplate}" />
