Description

I want the ImageEditor for .NET MAUI to start in Crop mode when the page loads. Is this possible?

• How to execute a command in ImageEditor when the image is loaded?
• How to programmatically apply crop operation on an image in ImageEditor?

Solution

To make the RadImageEditor start in Crop mode when the page loads, subscribe to the ImageLoaded event. In the event handler, execute the CropCommand programmatically.

Here is how to do this:

1. Define the RadImageEditor in XAML and subscribe to the ImageLoaded event:

<telerik:RadImageEditor x:Name="imageEditor" 
                        Source="dotnet_bot.png"
                        ImageLoaded="OnImageLoaded"/>

2. Implement the event handler in code-behind:

private void OnImageLoaded(object sender, Telerik.Maui.Controls.ImageEditor.ImageLoadedEventArgs e)
{
    // Apply the CropInteractiveCommand initially when the image source gets updated
    var imageSize = e.ImageSize;
    var cropCommand = this.imageEditor.CropInteractiveCommand;
    var cropCommandContext = new CropCommandContext
    {
        AspectRatio = AspectRatio.Square,
        Bounds = new Rect
        {
            X = imageSize.Width * 0.25,
            Y = imageSize.Height * 0.25,
            Width = imageSize.Width * 0.5,
            Height = imageSize.Height * 0.5
        },
        Geometry = new RadEllipseGeometry
        {
            Center = new Point(0.5, 0.5),
            Radius = new Size(0.5, 0.5)
        }
    };

    if (cropCommand.CanExecute(cropCommandContext))
    {
        cropCommand.Execute(cropCommandContext);
    }
}

In the above code, the ImageLoaded event is used to detect when an image is loaded into the ImageEditor. Upon loading, the Crop command is executed with a predefined aspect ratio, bounds, and geometry to customize the cropping area according to your requirements.
