SfSegmentedItem color properties are mostly ignored

[Péter Gulyás]

Hi,

I have an SfSegmentedControl and its ItemSource is fed by an IValueConverter that returns an ObservableCollection<SfSegmentItem>.

It works quite well, the labels are shown according to the returned ObservableCollection, but other attributes (e.g.: SelectionBackgroundColor, SelectionTextColor, BackgroundColor, FontColor) are ignored, the control uses the default grey/blue color scheme.

The control is defined as:

            <buttons:SfSegmentedControl
                x:Name="PositionCtrl"
                Grid.Row="2"
                SelectedIndex="{Binding sfscval, Converter={x:Static pages:positionTosfscvalConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}"
                HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                VerticalOptions="Start"
                VisibleSegmentsCount="2"
                BackgroundColor="Transparent"
                CornerRadius="10"
                HeightRequest="40"
                SegmentHeight="35"
                ItemsSource="{Binding sfsctype, Converter={StaticResource sfscToSfSegmentListConverter}}"/>

and the return value of IValueConverter is defined as:

private static ObservableCollection<SfSegmentItem> itemlist = new ObservableCollection<SfSegmentItem>()

        {
            new Syncfusion.XForms.Buttons.SfSegmentItem()
            {
                Text = "Text1",
                SelectionBackgroundColor = Color.LawnGreen,
                SelectionTextColor = Color.White,
                BackgroundColor = Color.DarkGray,
                FontColor = Color.White
            },
            new Syncfusion.XForms.Buttons.SfSegmentItem()
            {
                Text = "Text2",
                SelectionBackgroundColor = Color.IndianRed,
                SelectionTextColor = Color.White,
                BackgroundColor = Color.DarkGray,
                FontColor = Color.White
            },
        };

What's wrong with it, why are the color attributes ignored?

TIA

Hi Peter, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have prepared a sample based on your requirement, in which the BackgroundColor for the SfSegmentedItem worked as expected. Please download the sample from the link given below. 

 

Sample: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/SegmentSample550160496  

 

The SelectionBackgroundColor, SelectionTextColor, FontColor properties are not working as expected, hence we have reported bug for the same, the fix for this will be available in our Volume 3 Service pack 1, which is expected to be rolled out by the end of October 2018. 

 

Please let us know if you have any concern about this. 

 

Regards, 

Paul Anderson
