Events in .NET MAUI Text Input Layout (SfTextInputLayout)

28 Jul 20263 minutes to read

.NET MAUI Text Input Layout raises events to notify your application when the user interacts with the control. This page documents the events exposed directly by Text Input Layout. For events on the inner input view (such as TextChanged, Focused, and Unfocused), refer to the .NET MAUI Entry documentation.

Prerequisites

Before using the SfTextInputLayout, ensure the following NuGet package is installed in your .NET MAUI project:

  • Syncfusion.Maui.Core

For a step-by-step setup, refer to the Getting Started documentation.

Supported Events

Event Trigger EventArgs
PasswordVisibilityToggled Raised when the user taps the password visibility toggle icon. PasswordVisibilityToggledEventArgs

NOTE

The PasswordVisibilityToggled event fires only when EnablePasswordVisibilityToggle is true. If the toggle is disabled, the icon is not rendered and the event is never raised.

Password visibility toggled event

The PasswordVisibilityToggled event fires when the user taps the password visibility toggle icon.

Event Arguments

Property Type Description
IsPasswordVisible bool true when the password is currently visible (shown in plain text); false when the password is hidden. The event fires after the visibility state has changed, so the value reflects the new state. 
<VerticalStackLayout>
    <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout Hint="Password"
                                   EnablePasswordVisibilityToggle="True"
                                   PasswordVisibilityToggled="OnPasswordVisibilityToggled">
        <Entry />
    </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>
</VerticalStackLayout>
var inputLayout = new SfTextInputLayout
{
    Hint = "Password",
    EnablePasswordVisibilityToggle = true,
    Content = new Entry { IsPassword = true }
};
Content = new VerticalStackLayout
{
    Children =
    {
        inputLayout
    }
};

inputLayout.PasswordVisibilityToggled += OnPasswordVisibilityToggled;

The PasswordVisibilityToggled event can be handled in C# as follows:

void OnPasswordVisibilityToggled(object? sender, PasswordVisibilityToggledEventArgs e)
{
    bool isPasswordVisible = e.IsPasswordVisible;
    if (sender is SfTextInputLayout layout)
    {
        layout.ShowHint = !isPasswordVisible;
    }
}
