I’m So Glad MAUI Has XAML Style Classes

[@SingletonSean]

I just noticed this already existed in Xamarin, so this is mostly a PSA to WPF folks 😁

[@cernunox]

Awesome! This video arrives just in time as I embark on the styling hell for my new app 😂.

[@SingletonSean]

Haha good timing indeed, best of luck! 😁

Interesting. It seems like over half the properties are the same in the two classes, so does the second listed class override the first like in css?

[@megaman2016]

Very nice and long overdue

Hello Sean, Thanks for your great content, I am having trouble with using UDP port with my MAUI app, If it's possible to make a video about using MAUI app to send and receive data via UDP port it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

It would be wonderful if you made a video teaching how to turn a WinUI 3 application, generated by Windows Template Studio, into a real case, with CRUD and all. What do you think of this fantastic idea?

[@SingletonSean]

I haven't touched much of WinUI 3, but any tutorial modeling a real world scenario is a fantastic idea! I will have to do some research 😁

How would you use a StyleClass with AppThemeBinding?

[@tamminh8047]

Sadly, global styles are broken on WinUI3 for the collection view header and footer template. If I put them in page resource, they work. Moving out of the page and reference the key? MAUI: "nu uh" This framework still having too many bugs especially the collection view control

I make a styles folder in which I store everything, from colors and styles to buttons that I want to use again and again.

[@SingletonSean]

I like that method for global styles!

[@drjames079]

if MAUI in Windows is based on WinUI, does this mean that WinUI has StyleClasses?

[@SingletonSean]

Good question, honestly I have no idea. I would assume it would, but I can't find any docs on it. I can't even find the MAUI docs for style classes - I could only find the Xamarin docs!

[@drjames079]

which gets us to the problem with these (not so new) platforms... documentation. Why is it so scarse? Does MSFT even want us to use these technologies? It has never been this bad with WinForms or WPF. @@SingletonSean

why not make it avaiable to WPF 😢
