When updating to Telerik MAUI 8.0.0 and building the app on Android 5.1 the controls that use RadTextInput internally crash

Controls like, DataGrid, RadEntry, ComboBox, AutoComplete, Numeric, Masked

I'm looking to replace the Xamarin RadRichTextEditor control in my Maui app. The Maui native Editor control is good but doesn't scroll.

And to be honest, the RadRichTextEditor gave me more trouble than it was worth (I loved the functionality, but it wasn't a good fit for my implementation).

So, adding the appropriate support to RadEntry to make it more of a 'multiline text editor' or even a 'mini word processor' would be awesome.

I tried the following and the custom context menu does not apply: 

<telerik:RadEntry x:Name="telerikEntry">
    <FlyoutBase.ContextFlyout>
        <MenuFlyout>
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Custom flyout telrik radentry"
                            Clicked="MenuFlyoutItem_Clicked">
            </MenuFlyoutItem>
        </MenuFlyout>
    </FlyoutBase.ContextFlyout>
</telerik:RadEntry>

It works for MAUI Entry. Provide this menu for Telerik MAUI RadEntry too. 

Request for a manual Done button to be added to any of the existing Telerik controls when using numeric keyboard.

Request for RadEntry, NumericInput.

The MAUI Editor has manual done button above the Numeric keyboard, so the keyboard can be dismissed when pressing on this button.

There is android platform specific attached property ImeOption for entry control.

 <Entry x:Name="Default" FontSize="22" Placeholder="Default" Keyboard="Numeric" android:Entry.ImeOptions="Next" />

Please provide an option to use this property for Telerik MAUI RadEntry. 

Hi Team,

I need to be able to set the color of the selection highlight.

• On WinUI/UWP you can do this using the TextBox.SelectionHighlightColor
• On iOS and MacCatalyst, it is done using the UITextField.TintColor.
• On Android, it is ColorAccent

Can you please add a new top-level property on the .NET MAUI RadEntry control that allows us to set this?

Thank you,

Craig

Hi Team,

I would like to be able to use standard .NET data annotations on my bound property with the RadEntry's validation features.

For example, the following MaxLength attribute:

[MaxLength(12)]
public string CustomerId
{
    get => customerId;
    set => SetProperty(ref customerId, value);
}

Thank you,

Mads
