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 /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.

Progress Telerik WPF over the past 2.5/3 years has done a great job in introducing very useful UI concepts in WPF and we've embraced them in our development and our users find them useful. As .NET MAUI is generating greater gravity and interest, the technology remains at a significant distance because of the big feature-parity gap between MAUI and WPF. This is not a complaint as much as it is a notice; as we aren't a UI component authoring technology company new UI component development is not our focus. I am sure that you guys understand this and I am aware of the difference in design notions given the MAUI and WPF presentation and interactions goals; nonetheless, for ISVs like us, we have to choose the best, most stable, and cost-effective technologies and push the envelope as best as we can manage. So, love the excitement around MAUI but unless there is a way forward whereby one can migrate UI concepts from WPF to MAUI we can wait for MAUI to mature.

I would like to see Blazor mobile bindings for the Telerik UI for MAUI suite, similar to your Experimental Blazor Mobile Bindings for UI for Xamarin.
Thank you,

The main navigation menu is not displayed on surface devices.
The look of the mobile page is displayed.
Hi Team,
This is specifically a feature request to add a new control, or Window extension, that allows desktop developers to show a splashscreen window on the target desktop platform.
We understand this is not possible on mobile targets, but it would be nice to have for desktop,
For inspiration, see the Telerik UI for WPF RadSplashScreen control => WPF SplashScreen | Overview | Telerik UI for WPF
Hi Team,
Currently, Telerik UI for MAUI works implicitly with the standard MSIX packaged WinUI 3 app. However, if I manually bypass that and use msbuild to build an unpackaged, self-contained exe, some of the resources are not embedded.
This feature request is for UI for MAUI to implicitly support unpackaged apps without the developer needing to do anything for the destination environment (fonts, etc.)
I just made a little test application using the .NET 6 Preview 6 and MAUI with chart control to see if we can use it for a future project. I was able to display just a basic chart with 1000 points in it, in ascending order on X axis. But the performance is really not there when running on my Android 10 device. I only made a Zoom at factor 2 and use panning right to left and it's not smooth at all. There is nothing in the chart (no grid, no annotations). Just a simple 2 axis chart. I can really not go with this because there will be many more data in our product at the chart need to be fast enough. Maybe it's a settings somewhere that need to be adjusted... Take a note that I was able to run the chart in WinUI project and the performance is correct, but I am on a very fast PC, it is just normal to be fast. Note: There is some kind of deceleration effect when panning, I want to disable it but not found how.
Anyway, it will be really cool if you can provide a very simple MAUI test application with the fastest full screen chart with Pan/Zoom with 1000 points (which for me is really not much data) and the corresponding code to me to validate if your library can do the job. I know that MAUI and .NET 6 is not released yet, but performance should be there now because it's really close to bug fixing only state now. Thanks.
