The Xamarin Text Input Layout or TextBox is a container control that lets you add a password toggle icon to show or hide passwords, leading and trailing icons, and assistive labels such as floating label, hint, error, and help text on top of SfNumericUpDown, SfNumericTextBox, SfMaskedEdit, SfAutoComplete, SfComboBox and the Xamarin.Forms framework’s Entry, and Editor controls.
Enhance the appearance of numeric entry, numeric up down, masked input, autocomplete, combo box, entry and editor along with the entry and editor controls in Xamarin.Forms for WPF, and also add assistive labels and icons to those input views without writing much code to arrange and position those elements by wrapping the entry and input views with the Text Input Layout control.
Choose any of the containers (filled, outlined, and none) that best match your app’s style.
Indicate the focused, unfocused, error, and disabled states of the control.
Enable the password toggle icon to show or hide the password interactively.
Assistive labels provide more information about the input text.
Avoid additional labels by adding hint text, providing more space to the input view. The hint text moves from the middle to the top to show a floating label when the input becomes active.
Helper text provides additional information about the text to be entered.
Displaying error text can assist in solving validation errors.
The maximum characters to be entered in the text field can be displayed.
Add a leading icon to indicate the input type, such as birth date, phone number, and password. Use a trailing icon to add a clear button, error icon, voice input icon, or drop-down icon.
Apply appealing colors to all the elements of the Text Input Layout control to match your app theme.
Customize the font family, font size, and font attributes for the hint text, error text, helper text, and counter label.
Customize the padding around the input view.
Renders the control in the right-to-left direction for the required cultures.
