Port of WPF UI controls to MAUI

We have been developing our WPF app for some 4.5 years now and use the following controls from Telerik WPF UI control set:

  • PropertyGrid
  • GanttView
  • TimeBar
  • Diagrams
  • Callout
  • Transition
  • Wizard
  • TileList
  • Docking
  • Notify Icon
  • Task Board

* Native User Authentication UI Control that leverages  CommunityToolkit/Graph-Controls

I don't see these UI Controls on the Roadmap for MAUI and that is okay; it just delays our timeline for MAUI adoption. As we aren't a UI Component Control software development company we are dependent on folks like Telerik. This is not a complaint as much as it is just a let you know what some of your customers are doing. We need to be to be on the macOS desktop but native macOS development is very expensive. As a start-up that company that builds native desktop apps this is big deal and our investor take note of such things.

MAUI could help to reduce our development cost but only if we can move to that platform with UI Function set we have in our WPF App and to leverage engineering IP artifacts and development resource.

As we use the Task board, Gantt, and Schedule controls in the desktop apps, we will need an abbreviated UI/UX control set on the mobile device. Here's a brief list of capabilities embodied in UI and UX:

  • Knowledge management
    • Where sentiment analysis of email and text messages is pushed on the mobile device view; this is communicated relative to role and workflow
    • Controlled vocabulary (Taxonomy) so that key actions and activities are called out
    • Results of Language understanding context that mark essential items in the project plan and schedule
  • Simple Diagrammatic depiction of the workflow
  • Communication history and tracking relative to workflow
    • Agent to Agent
    • Agent to Client
    • Agent to lender
    • others..

We are targeting Android and iOS with MAUI, although we don't need all the controls for the mobile device. The way our product works is the mobile app is a companion to the desktop application. The mobile device will capture contact information, record voice communications, receive workflow task notifications and data visualizations, and short reports.

Hello Tavi,

As we log these items, it's important to understand the desired targets so we can plan accordingly. Can you please answer Yoan's question about deployment? This will let us know if you intend on desktop-only or also want them available for mobile, it also helps gauge overall interest/rationale for those choices.

Thanks!

Hello Tavi,

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. It is very valuable to guide us forward!

We will log the requested components as separate feature requests in our feedback portal and we will follow up in this thread with the links.

I want to take this opportunity to ask you whether you are interested in macOS and Windows platforms only. Are you considering using some of the requested components for mobile development?

Regards,
Yoan
