7 May 20212 minutes to read

We can decide how the floating label will display by setting the HintFloatMode property.

NOTE
The default value of the HintFloatMode is Float.

Float

The hint label will be float to the top of input view get focused.

xaml

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout 
    Hint="Name"
    HintFloatMode="Float" 
    HelperText="Enter your name">
    <TextBox />
</inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

c#

var inputLayout = new SfTextInputLayout();
inputLayout.Hint = "Name";
inputLayout.HintFloatMode = HintFloatMode.Float;
inputLayout.HelperText= "Enter your name";
inputLayout.InputView = new TextBox();

AlwaysFloat

The hint label will be positioned always at the top of input view.

xaml

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout 
    Hint="Name"
    HintFloatMode="AlwaysFloat" 
    HelperText="Enter your name">
    <TextBox />
</inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

c#

var inputLayout = new SfTextInputLayout();
inputLayout.Hint = "Name";
inputLayout.HintFloatMode = HintFloatMode.AlwaysFloat;
inputLayout.HelperText= "Enter your name";
inputLayout.InputView = new TextBox();

None

The hint label will be hidden when the input view is focused.

xaml

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout 
    Hint="Name"
    HintFloatMode= "None"
    HelperText="Enter your name">
    <TextBox />
</inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

c#

var inputLayout = new SfTextInputLayout();
inputLayout.Hint = "Name";
inputLayout.HintFloatMode = HintFloatMode.None;
inputLayout.HelperText= "Enter your name";
inputLayout.InputView = new TextBox();
