Dividers in .NET MAUI DateTime Slider (SfDateTimeSlider)

This section explains how to add dividers to the DateTime Slider.

Show dividers

The ShowDividers property is used to render the dividers on the track. The default value of the ShowDividers property is False. It is a shape used to represent the major interval points of the track.

For example, if the Minimum is DateTime(2010, 01, 01), the Maximum is DateTime(2018, 01, 01), and Interval is 2.0, the DateTime Slider will render the dividers at 2010, 2012, 2014, and so on.

<sliders:SfDateTimeSlider Minimum="2010-01-01"
                          Maximum="2018-01-01"
                          Value="2014-01-01"
                          Interval="2"
                          ShowDividers="True" />
SfDateTimeSlider slider = new SfDateTimeSlider()
{
    Minimum = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01),
    Maximum = new DateTime(2018, 01, 01),
    Value = new DateTime(2014, 01, 01),
    Interval = 2,
    ShowDividers = true,
};

Divider radius

Change the active and inactive divider radius of the slider using the ActiveRadius and the InactiveRadius properties of the DividerStyle class.

<sliders:SfDateTimeSlider Minimum="2010-01-01"
                          Maximum="2020-01-01"
                          Value="2015-01-01"
                          Interval="2"
                          ShowDividers="True">

    <sliders:SfDateTimeSlider.DividerStyle>
        <sliders:SliderDividerStyle ActiveRadius="3"
                                    InactiveRadius="7" />
    </sliders:SfDateTimeSlider.DividerStyle>

</sliders:SfDateTimeSlider>
SfDateTimeSlider slider = new SfDateTimeSlider()
{
    Minimum = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01),
    Maximum = new DateTime(2020, 01, 01),
    Value = new DateTime(2015, 01, 01),
    Interval = 2,
    ShowDividers = true,
};
slider.DividerStyle.ActiveRadius = 3;
slider.DividerStyle.InactiveRadius = 7;

Divider color

Change the active and inactive divider color of the slider using the ActiveFill and InactiveFill properties of the DividerStyle class.

<sliders:SfDateTimeSlider Minimum="2010-01-01"
                          Maximum="2018-01-01"
                          Value="2014-01-01"
                          Interval="2"
                          ShowDividers="True">

    Minimum = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01),
    Maximum = new DateTime(2018, 01, 01),
    Value = new DateTime(2014, 01, 01),
    Interval = 2,

slider.DividerStyle.ActiveFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#EE3F3F"));
slider.DividerStyle.InactiveFill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb("#F7B1AE"));

Divider stroke width and stroke color

Change the active and inactive divider stroke width of the slider using the ActiveStrokeThickness and the InactiveStrokeThickness properties of the DividerStyle class.

Also, change the active and inactive divider stroke color of the slider using the ActiveStroke and the InactiveStroke properties of the DividerStyle class.

Disabled divider

Change the state of the slider to disabled by setting false to the IsEnabled property. Using the Visual State Manager (VSM), customize the slider divider properties based on the visual states. The applicable visual states are enabled(default) and disabled.
