I have a Entry control on MAUI Page to Accept User Name, for this I want the control to Accept A to Z Letters only (no numeric, symbol or special character allowed) and that too in Capital Letters
I wrote xaml like this
<Entry x:Name="txtUserName" Placeholder="User Name" Text="{Binding UserName}" MaxLength="15">
<Entry.Keyboard>
<Keyboard x:FactoryMethod="Create">
<x:Arguments>
<KeyboardFlags>CapitalizeCharacter</KeyboardFlags>
</x:Arguments>
</Keyboard>
</Entry.Keyboard>
</Entry>
this only Capitalizes letters, but numbers and symbols also get accepted, no way to restrict them found.
I solved the same issue filtering the Text on the TextChanged Function :
private void Letter_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.NewTextValue))
{
var textFiltered= new string(e.NewTextValue.Where(char.IsLetter).ToArray());
((Entry)sender).Text = textFiltered;
}
}
To implement it will be enough to use insert it in your XAML code the following way
<Entry x:Name="txtUserName" Placeholder="User Name" Text="{Binding UserName}" MaxLength="15" TextChanged="Letter_TextChanged">
<Entry.Keyboard>
<Keyboard x:FactoryMethod="Create">
<x:Arguments>
<KeyboardFlags>CapitalizeCharacter</KeyboardFlags>
</x:Arguments>
</Keyboard>
</Entry.Keyboard>
</Entry>
