Events in Xamarin Picker (SfPicker)

8 Jan 20253 minutes to read

Three events have been used for a picker when it is in the Dialog mode. They are,

• Opened
• Closing
• Closed

Opened event

The Opened event occurs when the picker is opened.

Closing event

The Closing event raises when the picker gets closing. You can stop the picker close action by setting the e.cancel to true.

Closed event

The Closed event was raised after the picker is closed.
