handlers.AddHandler(typeof(Telerik.Maui.Controls.RadEntry), typeof(RadEntryCustomHandler));
for ANDROID I have this Handler
public partial class RadEntryCustomHandler : RadEntryHandler
{
protected override void ConnectHandler(RadMauiEntry nativeView)
{
try
{
nativeView.EditText.TextCursorDrawable.SetColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(Graphics.Color.White, PorterDuff.Mode.Darken));
}
catch { }
}
}
for IOS I have this Handler
public class RadEntryCustomHandler : RadEntryHandler{
protected override void ConnectHandler(RadMauiEntry nativeView)
{
try
{
nativeView.TextField.TintColor = UIColor.White;
}
catch { }
}
}

Hello Hakob,
You do not need to write a custom handler. In fact we recommend against it because you don't always have control over the lifecycle.
Instead, we recommend using the HandlerChanged event and then apply the customization. This will ensure that you have a valid PlatformView and can apply the desired platform-specific customization.
For example, I can confirm this code works and changes the cursor to Red on Android:
using Telerik.Maui.Controls;
using Telerik.Maui.Platform;
#if ANDROID
using Android.Graphics;
#elif __IOS__
using UIKit;
#endif
namespace MauiDemo;
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.BindingContext = new MainViewModel();
// Step 1. Subscribe to HandlerChanged on your RadEntry
MyRadEntry.HandlerChanged += Entry1_HandlerChanged;
}
private void Entry1_HandlerChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Step 2. Make sure the PlatformView is available
if ((sender as RadEntry)?.Handler?.PlatformView is RadMauiEntry nativeEntry)
{
// Step 3. change the desired native-specific properties
#if ANDROID
nativeEntry.EditText.TextCursorDrawable?.SetColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(Android.Graphics.Color.Red, PorterDuff.Mode.Darken));
#elif __IOS__
nativeEntry.TextField.TintColor = UIColor.White;
#endif
}
}
}Here's what it looks like at runtime:
Side Note
If you want to apply this customization to many instances, then you can create your own custom control that inherits from Telerik.Maui.Controls.RadEntry and use the OnHandlerChanged override:
public class MyCustomTelerikEntry : Telerik.Maui.Controls.RadEntry
{
protected override void OnHandlerChanged()
{
// DO NOT SKIP THIS, or you risk breaking internal logic
base.OnHandlerChanged();
// Step 2. Make sure the PlatformView is available
if (this?.Handler?.PlatformView is RadMauiEntry nativeEntry)
{
// Step 3. change the desired native-specific properties
#if ANDROID
nativeEntry.EditText.TextCursorDrawable?.SetColorFilter(new PorterDuffColorFilter(Android.Graphics.Color.Red, PorterDuff.Mode.Darken));
#elif __IOS__
nativeEntry.TextField.TintColor = UIColor.White;
#endif
}
}
