How to get this custom control into sfDataForm

[David Brenchley]

                        <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout                       

                        Hint="Credit Card Number"

                        LeadingViewPosition="Inside" >

                            <syncmaskededit:SfMaskedEdit ValueMaskFormat="ExcludePromptAndLiterals" 

                                  Value="{Binding CardNumber}" Keyboard="Numeric" 

                                  Mask="0000 0000 0000 0000" MaskType="Text"

                                  ValidationMode="KeyPress"  />

                            

                            <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView>

                                <Image Source="{Binding CardNumber ,Converter={StaticResource CardConverter}}"

                               HeightRequest="30"/>

                            </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView>

                        </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>

I want to be able to put this into sfDataForm so that I can validate it, but have issues with all the customization,   I've tried via AutoGeneratingDataFormItem, but when I create the TextInputLayoutSettings, the LeadingView is a Label and won't let me put in an Image.  The image also needs the converter as it changes to visa/disc, etc. depending on what is entered.  The sfDataForm seems to be more of a pain then what it solves.  Would like to use DataAnnotation or INotifyDataErrorInfo for validation.

Hi David Brenchley,  

   

Thank you for your patience. 

 

We have fixed the reported issue of “Image is not loaded in Leading and Trailing view since intialized as Label”. But we have not included this fix in this weekly nuget since we need to ensure all use cases. We will include the issue fix in our upcoming 2019 Volume 4 Beta release which is planned to roll out by first week of December 2019. We appreciate your patience until then. Please let us know, if you need issue fix patch earlier. 

 

Regards, 

Ajith

We recently used it in a real estate platform to create a clean, interactive dashboard for managing listings and client communications. It was part of a broader system we built for hafilat recharge balance check   , and Syncfusion made it much easier to handle the UI without building everything from scratch. Definitely recommend it for similar business-focused tools!
