Getting Started with the .NET MAUI SegmentedControl

This guide provides the information you need to start using the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI SegmentedControl by adding the control to your project.

At the end, you will achieve the following result.

Prerequisites

Before adding the SegmentedControl, 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 SegmentedControl control to your page.

<telerik:RadSegmentedControl x:Name="segmentControlText"
                                  HeightRequest="60"
                                  VerticalOptions="Start">
    <telerik:RadSegmentedControl.ItemsSource>
        <x:Array Type="{x:Type x:String}">
            <x:String>Popular</x:String>
            <x:String>Library</x:String>
            <x:String>Playlists</x:String>
            <x:String>Friends</x:String>
        </x:Array>
    </telerik:RadSegmentedControl.ItemsSource>
</telerik:RadSegmentedControl>

2. Add the following namespace:

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:

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();
    }
}
