Platforms

Installation

dotnet add package NiceEntry

Usage

Add the namespace to your XAML:

xmlns:nice="clr-namespace:NiceEntry;assembly=NiceEntry"

Basic entry

<nice:LabeledEntry Label="Name"
                   Text="{Binding Name}"
                   Placeholder="Enter your name"
                   IsRequired="True" />

Entry with unit suffix

<nice:LabeledEntry Label="Battery size"
                   Text="{Binding BatterySize}"
                   Unit="kWh"
                   Keyboard="Numeric" />

Custom unit styling

<nice:LabeledEntry Label="Weight"
                   Text="{Binding Weight}"
                   Unit="kg"
                   UnitFontSize="20"
                   UnitFontFamily="Georgia"
                   UnitColor="DarkOrange" />

Custom padding

<nice:LabeledEntry Label="Extra padding"
                   Text="{Binding Value}"
                   ContentPadding="24,20" />

Validation errors

Bind Error to an IReadOnlyCollection<string> — when non-empty, the border turns red and messages display below the control:

<nice:LabeledEntry Label="Email"
                   Text="{Binding Email}"
                   Error="{Binding EmailErrors}" />

Picker

<nice:LabeledPicker Label="Country"
                    ItemsSource="{Binding Countries}"
                    SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedCountry}" />

Date and time pickers

<nice:LabeledDatePicker Label="Select a date"
                        Date="{Binding SelectedDate}" />

<nice:LabeledTimePicker Label="Select a time"
                        Time="{Binding SelectedTime}"
                        IsRequired="True" />

Auto-complete entry

Filter a list of suggestions as the user types. Tap a row to commit it back into the entry.

<nice:LabeledAutoCompleteEntry Label="ICAO code"
                               Placeholder="e.g. ESGG"
                               Text="{Binding IcaoText}"
                               Suggestions="{Binding IcaoSuggestions}"
                               MaxSuggestions="6"
                               CommitOnUpperCase="True" />
