Hello Sorg,
Currently, Telerik .NET MAUI does not have a GridSplitter control. I have logged this as a feature request here: https://feedback.telerik.com/maui/1606897-add-gridsplitter-control

Here's what I use, however it will only work with .NET 8. Also, it's only a vertical splitter, but it would be easy enough to use the same code to make a horizontal.
This works by placing a contentview between two columns in a grid layout. When you click and move the "splitter", it reads the new position and resizes the left side column to match.
In you XAML, you add a reference to the location to the SplitterControl contentview (code below)
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YOURAPPLICATION.Resources.Controls"
Then add this between the two columns in your grid layout:
<local:SplitterControl x:Name="splitter" Grid.Column="1" />Add the below SplitterControl contentview to your application:
SplitterControl.xaml (Style this however you like, I added the CursorBehaviors to get the pointer to change on mouseover, but that is not necessary):
<ContentView
x:Class="YOURAPPLICATION.Resources.Controls.SplitterControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YOURAPPLICATION">
<Grid
x:Name="splitter"
local:CursorBehavior.Cursor="SizeRightLeft"
BackgroundColor="DarkGray"
HorizontalOptions="Fill"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<DragGestureRecognizer DragStarting="OnDragStarting" />
</Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="60" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<BoxView
Grid.Row="1"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
WidthRequest="6"
Color="#757474" />
</Grid>
</ContentView>SplitterControl.xaml.cs
public partial class SplitterControl : ContentView
{
private DropGestureRecognizer _dropGestureRecognizer;
public SplitterControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
SetupGestureRecognizers();
}
private void SetupGestureRecognizers()
{
var dragGestureRecognizer = new DragGestureRecognizer();
dragGestureRecognizer.DragStarting += OnDragStarting;
splitter.GestureRecognizers.Add(dragGestureRecognizer);
PropertyChanged += (s, e) =>
{
if (e.PropertyName == "Parent" && Parent is Grid parentGrid)
{
if (_dropGestureRecognizer == null)
{
_dropGestureRecognizer = new DropGestureRecognizer();
_dropGestureRecognizer.DragOver += OnDragOver;
}
if (!parentGrid.GestureRecognizers.Contains(_dropGestureRecognizer))
{
parentGrid.GestureRecognizers.Add(_dropGestureRecognizer);
}
}
};
}
private void OnDragStarting(object sender, DragStartingEventArgs e)
{
splitter.IsVisible = false;
}
private void OnDragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
UpdateSplitterPosition(sender, e);
}
public void UpdateSplitterPosition(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
int columnIndex = Grid.GetColumn(this);
columnIndex--;
var parentGrid = Parent as Grid;
if (parentGrid == null && columnIndex < 0 && columnIndex < parentGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Count)
{
return;
}
var newWidth = (int)e.GetPosition(null)!.Value.X;
splitter.IsVisible = true;
parentGrid.ColumnDefinitions[columnIndex].Width = new GridLength(newWidth);
#if WINDOWS
e.PlatformArgs.DragEventArgs.DragUIOverride!.IsCaptionVisible = false;
e.PlatformArgs.DragEventArgs.DragUIOverride!.IsGlyphVisible = false;
#endif
}
