Hello Nelson,
Text highlighting is platform-specific and comes from the .NET MAUI Entry default styles on different platforms. For example on Windows you would need to add the styles inside Platforms/Windows.App.xaml file.
I came across the other discussion on Entry styles here: Style for disabled RadEntry is not working, so you just need to add the following setter of the SelectionHighlightColor inside the MaskedEntryControlTextBoxStyle style:
<Style x:Key="MaskedEntryControlTextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultTextBoxStyle}">
<Setter Property="SelectionHighlightColor" Value="Green" />
<Setter Property="Template">
....
I hope this would help.

Hi,
Thank you for this. Is it possible to apply this style to a specific entry only?
Hi Nelson,
If you need to apply a different selection highlight color to one RadEntry instance, you can create a custom class which inherits from RadEntry and override its OnHandlerChanged() method. In it you can get a reference to the Windows TextBox through the InputEditor property and assign its SelectionHighlightColor, here is a quick sample:
public class MyRadEntry : RadEntry
{
protected override void OnHandlerChanged()
{
base.OnHandlerChanged();
// Step 1. Make sure the PlatformView is available
if (this.Handler?.PlatformView is RadMauiEntry nativeEntry)
{
// Step 2. change the desired native-specific properties
#if WINDOWS
nativeEntry.Loaded += (s, a) =>
{
Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBox tb = nativeEntry.InputEditor;
tb.SelectionHighlightColor = new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0));
};
#endif
}
}
}
Then you can add the MyRadEntry to the page:
<local:MyRadEntry Text="custom rad entry text" />I hope this would be of help.
