Time restriction in .NET MAUI Time Picker (SfTimePicker)

22 Sep 20253 minutes to read

Minimum Time

The time picker provides an option to restrict the selection of time items using the MinimumTime property. This ensures that times beyond the specified minimum time range cannot be selected. The MinimumTime value must be less than the MaximumTime value. When setting the minimum time, only the hour and minute components are considered.

XAML

<picker:SfTimePicker x:Name="picker"
                     MinimumTime="7:40:0">
</picker:SfTimePicker>

C#

SfTimePicker picker = new SfTimePicker();
picker.MinimumTime = new TimeSpan(7, 40, 0);
this.Content = picker;

Maximum Time

The time picker provides an option to restrict the selection of time items using the MaximumTime property. This ensures that times beyond the specified minimum time range cannot be selected. The MaximumTime value must be higher than the MinimumTime value. When setting the minimum time, only the hour and minute components are considered.

XAML

<picker:SfTimePicker x:Name="picker"
                     MaximumTime="20:15:0">
</picker:SfTimePicker>

C#

SfTimePicker picker = new SfTimePicker();
picker.MaximumTime = new TimeSpan(20, 15, 0);
this.Content = picker;

Blackout Times

The BlackoutTimes property in the SfTimePicker component enables you to limit the selection of certain times. You can specify a set of times to disable, preventing users from choosing those times. This feature is helpful for managing availability, such as excluding specific hours of the day.

XAML

<picker:SfTimePicker x:Name="picker">
    <picker:SfTimePicker.BlackoutTimes>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:28:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:26:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:24:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:22:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:37:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:35:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:33:00</x:TimeSpan>
        <x:TimeSpan>12:32:00</x:TimeSpan>
    </picker:SfTimePicker.BlackoutTimes>
</picker:SfTimePicker>

C#

SfTimePicker picker = new SfTimePicker();
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 28, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 26, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 24, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 22, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 37, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 35, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 33, 0));
picker.BlackoutTimes.Add(new TimeSpan(12, 32, 0));
this.Content = picker;

NOTE

The Selection View will not be applicable when setting Blackout times.
