Control Template

RadMaskedInput's visual appearance is defined through a Control Template. In order to customize the way the MaskedInput looks, you would need to take the default ControlTemplate and modify it.

This topic gives an overview of the ControlTemplate of the MaskedInput control, so you can copy it to your app and make changes.

The original ControlTemplate

The XAML defined below relies on the following namespace to be set:

xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"

<ResourceDictionary>
    <ControlTemplate x:Key="MaskedInput_ControlTemplate">
        <Grid BackgroundColor="Transparent">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <telerikInput:MaskedInputElement x:Name="InputElement"
                                      HorizontalTextAlignment="Start"
                                      BackgroundColor="Transparent"
                                      Mask="{TemplateBinding Mask}"
                                      MaskType="{TemplateBinding MaskType}"
                                      Placeholder="{TemplateBinding Placeholder}"
                                      BorderStyle="{TemplateBinding BorderStyle}"
                                      WatermarkText="{TemplateBinding WatermarkText}"
                                      InputValue="{TemplateBinding InputValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                      DisplayedTextFont="{TemplateBinding DisplayedTextFont}"
                                      WatermarkTextColor="{TemplateBinding WatermarkTextColor}"
                                      DisplayedTextColor="{TemplateBinding DisplayedTextColor}"
                                      DisplayedTextFontSize="{TemplateBinding DisplayedTextFontSize}"/>
            <Label FontSize="{TemplateBinding ErrorFontSize}"
                   BackgroundColor="Transparent"
                   Grid.Row="1">
                <Label.Triggers>
                    <DataTrigger TargetType="Label" 
                                 Binding="{TemplateBinding IsMaskFull}"
                                 Value="False">
                        <Setter Property="Text" Value="{TemplateBinding InvalidInputErrorText}" />
                    </DataTrigger>
                    <DataTrigger TargetType="Label" 
                                 Binding="{TemplateBinding IsMaskFull}"
                                 Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Text" Value="{TemplateBinding RejectedSymbolErrorText}" />
                    </DataTrigger>
                    <DataTrigger TargetType="Label"
                                 Binding="{TemplateBinding IsErrorTextVisible}"
                                 Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{TemplateBinding ErrorColor}" />
                    </DataTrigger>
                    <DataTrigger TargetType="Label"
                                 Binding="{TemplateBinding IsErrorTextVisible}"
                                 Value="False">
                        <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Transparent" />
                    </DataTrigger>
                </Label.Triggers>
            </Label>
        </Grid>
  </ControlTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>

Finally, use the custom ControlTemplate as a StaticResource on any instance of RadMaskedInput:

<StackLayout>
    <telerikInput:RadMaskedInput x:Name="maskedInput" 
                                 ControlTemplate="{StaticResource MaskedInput_ControlTemplate}"/>

</StackLayout>
