Not able to customize the SelectionView

@ronakshethia Of course. That is right.

SelectionView is not a real control. just generates RadioButtons, CheckBoxes or buttons at runtime. It uses Control's default settings.

If your SelectionType is CheckBox you can try change GlobalSetting of CheckBox.

-- For example.

if you have that:

<input:SelectionView ItemsSource="{Binding SampleList}" SelectionType="CheckBox" />

go to your App.cs

    public App()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
	    
            //also this will changes default values of all checkboxes in your app
            Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls.CheckBox.GlobalSetting.BorderColor = Color.Blue;

            MainPage = new NavigationPage(new Sample.InputKit.MainPage());
        }

---

If you havethat:

<input:SelectionView ItemsSource="{Binding SampleList}" SelectionType="RadioButton" />

go to your App.cs

    public App()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //also this will changes default values of all radiobuttons in your app
            Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls.RadioButton.GlobalSetting.BorderColor = Color.Blue;

            MainPage = new NavigationPage(new Sample.InputKit.MainPage());
        }

I'm labeling this issue as Enchantment and customizing feature will be added to selectionview

[ronakshethia]

Thanks it worked for me :)

@enisn Your solution form above is working, but when I select any RadioButton from SelectionView - style of selected button is going back to default "pink-gray". I have tested it in SelectionView and RadioButtonGroupView with radio buttons, with the same results in both.

I couldn't get the GlobalSetting to work for me, I need to set it in a Theme Detection class to set colors for Dark mode vs light mode.

I'm in the same boat as @HelenMamalaki on this. Any work around?

[aismaniotto]

Me too

Also, overriding SelectionView is a workaround for now:

using Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Abstraction;
using Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls;

namespace App3
{
    public class MySelectionView : SelectionView
    {
        public override ISelection GetInstance(object obj)
        {
            var instance = base.GetInstance(obj);

            if (instance is Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls.CheckBox checkBox)
            {
                checkBox.BoxSizeRequest = 18;
                checkBox.TextFontSize = 22;
                checkBox.SetDynamicResource(Plugin.InputKit.Shared.Controls.CheckBox.IconColorProperty, "SecondaryColor");
            }

            return instance;
        }
    }
}
