Getting Started with .NET MAUI SideDrawer

At the end, you will be able to achieve the following result.
Prerequisites
Before adding the TemplatedPicker, you need to:
Define the Control
The SideDrawer control contains two views - MainContent
and DrawerContent
The DrawerContent
represents the hidden view (in it you can place navigational UI, any common setting, etc), while the MainContent
hosts the main View
.

When your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add a SideDrawer control to your page. The following example demonstrates how to define the
MainContent
andDrawerContent
of the control.<telerik:RadSideDrawer x:Name="drawer" DrawerLength="200"> <telerik:RadSideDrawer.MainContent> <Grid> <Label Text="Main content" /> </Grid> </telerik:RadSideDrawer.MainContent> <telerik:RadSideDrawer.DrawerContent> <VerticalStackLayout Spacing="10" Padding="10, 10, 0, 0"> <Button Text="Mail" Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}" /> <Button Text="Calendar" Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}" /> <Button Text="People" Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}" /> <Button Text="Tasks" Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}" /> </VerticalStackLayout> </telerik:RadSideDrawer.DrawerContent> </telerik:RadSideDrawer>

Add the following namespace:
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

Register the Telerik controls through the
Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik
extension method called inside theCreateMauiApp
method of theMauiProgram.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(); } }
