Need to create textchanged for searchbar in Viewmodel?

Question

My workaround:

xaml:

<SearchBar
                            x:Name="SearchBar"
                           
                            TextChanged="SearchBar_TextChanged"
                            SearchCommand="{Binding SearchCommand}"
                            SearchCommandParameter="{Binding Source={x:Reference SearchBar}, Path=Text}" />

c#:

private void SearchBar_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
        {
        }

Currently i can able to create a textchanged in .cs

I nned to acheive the same in Viewmodel. When the text is changed it should trigger in the ViewModel.

Hello,

SearchBar_TextChanged is an event, and for the need to call the event in the ViewModel, you need to convert the event to a Command via the EventToCommand feature of the CommunityToolkit.

Please refer to the following documentation.

• .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) Community Toolkit documentation.
• EventToCommandBehavior.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
