    Hello,

    What's measn in maui "customize a control" is it means give it a native property that don't exist in Maui control

    Yes, you can set a native property that don't exist in MAUI control. You can refer to this document: Customize controls with handlers

    say I want to change editor control to have scrollbars this possible?

    Yes, you do not need to Customize controls, you can use ScrollView wrap the Editor like following code. I set WidthRequest="200" and HeightRequest="50" for testing. 

       <ScrollView WidthRequest="200" BackgroundColor="Red" HeightRequest="50" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Always">  
     
        <Editor Text="this is a test text for long this is a test text for long this is a test text for long" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" ></Editor>  
     
    </ScrollView>

    Best Regards,
