Using SfTreeView with XCode storyboard

Question

Hello! I cannot see SfTreeView control in XCode when I'm designing UI using storyboard. Can I use Syncfusion controls with XCode storyboards? Thank you.

Hi
Alessandro,We
tested the reported scenario in XCode 12.4. Unfortunately, we were unable to
add the elements from the library. Only the built-in controls can be added to
the view. We are currently checking the same at the framework level and will update you
with further details on or before March 31, 2022. We appreciate your patience
until then.Regards,Lakshmi

Thank you. I've done a simple workaround using a UIView as a container for the SfTreeView and adding the custom control as a child of the container via code, but that's not so ideal for storyboards. Do you have any news about the issue?

Hi
Alessandro,We
suspect that the custom controls could only be added using the iOS designer.
However, in VS2019, the iOS designer was deprecated. Please see the documents
listed below for more information.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/user-interface/designer/ios-designable-controls-overviewhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/user-interface/storyboards/Meanwhile,
we suggest you add the SfTreeView control by writing the code to achieve your
requirement. Please refer to the following document to add SfTreeView using C#,https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin-ios/sftreeview/getting-started#adding-treeview-in-xamarinios-using-c-code           Please
let us know if you need further assistance.Regards,Lakshmi

Hi
Alessandro,Currently,
we do not have direct support for XCode storyboard design. We have considered
“Syncfusion controls will show in XCode story boards” as a feature and logged a feature request. You
can track the status of this feature implement through the following link,https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/24817/syncfusion-controls-will-show-in-xcode-story-boardsWe
will prioritize the features every release based on the demands, and we do not
have an immediate plan to implement this feature since we committed with
already planned work.Please
upvote this feature to make this our priority. If you have any more
specifications/suggestions to the feature request, you can add it as a comment
in the portal and cast your vote to make it count.Regards,Lakshmi
