How to make SFButton to Auto-Size to Its Text in .NET MAUI

[Nguy?n Th?nh]

Hello Syncfusion Support Team,

I am currently using the SFButton control in my .NET MAUI application and I would like to have the button automatically adjust its width to fit its text content (i.e. shrink-to-fit).

Here is my sample code

private void Base(string text)
{
    Text = text;
    ShowIcon = true;
  
    CornerRadius = 0;
    StrokeThickness = 0;
    VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
    HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Start;
    HorizontalOptions =  LayoutOptions.Fill;
    ImageAlignment = Alignment.Start;
    VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Fill;
    Padding = 0;
    Margin = 0;
}

Hi Nguy,

Thank you for reaching out to Syncfusion Support.

To achieve your requirement of having the SfButton automatically adjust its width based on the text content, we recommend setting the HorizontalOptions property to Start, Center, or End instead of Fill. The Fill option takes up all the available space, whereas the other options allow the button to shrink-to-fit its text content.

Code:

<sfbutton:SfButton

     Text="{Binding Text}"

     ShowIcon="True" 

     ImageSource="dotnet_bot.png"

     CornerRadius="0" 

     StrokeThickness="0" 

     VerticalTextAlignment="Center" 

     HorizontalTextAlignment="Start" 

     HorizontalOptions="Center" 

     ImageAlignment="Start" 

     VerticalOptions="Fill" 

     Padding="0" 

     Margin="0"/>

By applying this change, the button will dynamically adjust its width based on the text length while maintaining proper alignment, unless a static width is explicitly defined for the control.

For your reference, we have attached a sample to demonstrate the changes. Kindly check it and let us know if it resolves your query.

Hi Nguyễn Thịnh,

We have reviewed your query and to disable the button click effect (ripple effect) in SfButton, you can set the EnableRippleEffect property to False.

<sfbutton:SfButton

     Text="{Binding Text}"

     ShowIcon="True" 

     ImageSource="dotnet_bot.png"

     CornerRadius="0" 

     StrokeThickness="0" 

     VerticalTextAlignment="Center" 

     HorizontalTextAlignment="Start" 

     HorizontalOptions="Center" 

     ImageAlignment="Start" 

     VerticalOptions="Fill" 

     Padding="0" 

     Margin="0"

     EnableRippleEffect="False"/>

By setting EnableRippleEffect="False", the ripple animation effect will be turned off when clicking the button.

is there any way to customize the ripple effect?

[Kamalesh Periyasamy]

 Hi Nguyễn Thịnh, 

We have reviewed your query, and currently, the SfButton control in .NET MAUI does not provide built-in support for customizing the ripple effect. There are no direct customization options available to modify aspects such as color, duration, or animation style of the ripple effect. However, you can enable or disable the ripple effect using the EnableRippleEffect property. 

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
