LeXtudio.TextBox

A drop-in TextBox control for Uno Platform and WinUI that surfaces correct IME / input-method support on every desktop platform.

When to use this instead of the built-in TextBox

Uno Platform's built-in TextBox uses the platform's native text widget on Windows but a custom Skia renderer on Linux and macOS desktop targets. Composition input (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.) can be unreliable on those Skia targets. LeXtudio.TextBox wraps the built-in control and connects it to LeXtudio.UI.Text.Core — a managed CoreText/IME bridge — so IME composition works correctly on all Skia desktop platforms.

On Windows (WinUI / Windows App SDK) the class extends Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBox directly; the CoreText bridge is not involved and there is no behavioural difference from the inbox control.

Supported targets

Target framework Behaviour
net9.0-desktop (Uno Skia) Full IME bridge via LeXtudio.UI.Text.Core
net9.0-windows10.0.19041.0 Thin subclass of the native WinUI TextBox

Installation

dotnet add package LeXtudio.TextBox

Or add a PackageReference to your project file:

<PackageReference Include="LeXtudio.TextBox" Version="1.*" />

Usage

xmlns:lx="using:LeXtudio.UI.Controls"

<lx:TextBox PlaceholderText="Type here…"
            AcceptsReturn="True"
            TextWrapping="Wrap" />

using LeXtudio.UI.Controls;

var box = new TextBox
{
    PlaceholderText = "Type here…",
    AcceptsReturn = true,
};
box.TextChanged += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine(box.Text);

The control implements IDisposable; call Dispose() if you remove it from the visual tree manually (it is called automatically via Unloaded).

API surface

All properties delegate to the inner Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBox.

Member Type Notes
Text string Two-way bindable
PlaceholderText string
PlaceholderForeground Brush? Added on Windows target via DependencyProperty
Header object?
AcceptsReturn bool
TextWrapping TextWrapping
TextChanged event Forwarded from the inner control
SelectAll() method
