.NET MAUI TemplatedPicker Modes
The TemplatedPicker for .NET MAUI provides a popup and a drop-down picker mode for picking a value from the selector.
Picker Mode
Use the PickerMode (enum of type Telerik.Maui.Controls.PickerMode) property to specify which UI to open for selecting a value from the picker selector. The options are:
-
Popup—Shows the UI for picking a value inside a popup. It's the default value for mobile (Android and iOS); -
DropDown—Opens the UI for picking a value inside a drop-down. It's the default value for Desktop (Windows, macOS);
Here is a sample of PickerMode set to Popup:
<telerik:RadTemplatedPicker PickerMode="Popup" />
Check below the result on mobile and desktop:

Picker Toggle State
You can control whether the picker popup or drop-down is opened or closed by using the IsOpen (bool) property.
Arrow Button Picker Mode
In addition, TemplatedPicker exposes IsToggleButtonVisible property which when set to True renders an "arrow" button for opening the UI for picking a time. By default, IsToggleButtonVisible is enabled for Desktop and disabled for mobile platforms. You can explicitly apply it in both cases:
<telerik:RadTemplatedPicker PickerMode="DropDown"
IsToggleButtonVisible="True" />
