So, I need to modify, my behavior on desktop
I have the shell, with the Seach bar
<Window
x:Class="METROWIND.Views.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml">
<Window.TitleBar>
<TitleBar
Title="METROWIND"
BackgroundColor="{x:AppThemeBinding Dark={x:StaticResource Black}, Light={x:StaticResource Primary}}"
HeightRequest="60">
<TitleBar.Content>
<Border>
<SearchBar/>
</Border>
</TitleBar.Content>
<TitleBar.TrailingContent>
<ImageButton
Background="Transparent"
BorderWidth="0"
HeightRequest="36"
WidthRequest="36">
<ImageButton.Source>
<FontImageSource
FontFamily="SegoeMDL2"
Glyph=""
Size="16" />
</ImageButton.Source>
</ImageButton>
</TitleBar.TrailingContent>
</TitleBar>
</Window.TitleBar>
public partial class App : Application
{
AppShell shell;
public App(AppShell appShell)
{
SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense(AppConstants.SYNCFUSION_KEY);
InitializeComponent();
shell = appShell;
}
protected override Window CreateWindow(IActivationState? activationState)
{
Window window = new MainWindow(shell);
return window;
}
everything works fantastic, but what I want to do for desktop, is to make my collection of turbines globally available for you to search in the shell to open a new window WITH THE DETAIL
Also, I have a cahrgeStationPage, that display a combo box with the turbines to search, and mke the map go to that pin
public partial class ChargingStationsMapPageViewModel(
HttpService service, DeviceLanguageService deviceLanguage, TurbinesService turbinesService) :
HomePageViewModel(service, deviceLanguage, turbinesService)
{
private Map? MapView;
[ObservableProperty]
bool isOptionsOpen;
[ObservableProperty]
bool isExpanded;
[RelayCommand]
private void Appearing(Map map)
{
MapView = map;
}
[RelayCommand]
void ItemSelected(Turbine Turbine)
{
var mapSpan = MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(Turbine.Location,
Distance.FromKilometers(0.4));
MapView!.MoveToRegion(mapSpan);
IsExpanded = false;
}
[RelayCommand]
void OpenMenu()
{
IsOptionsOpen = true;
}
[RelayCommand]
void ChangeMapType(int mapType)
{
MapView!.MapType = mapType switch
{
0 => MapType.Street,
1 => MapType.Satellite,
2 => MapType.Hybrid, // Example: Handle mapType 2
_ => throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(mapType), mapType, "Invalid map type"),
};
IsOptionsOpen = false;
}
}
}

On this particular page, the search box, should take care of this
How is working right now
I have a homePage
that grabs all the turbines from the service and put it in a collection view
protected readonly TurbinesService _turbinesService;
public ObservableCollection<TurbinePin> Turbines => _turbinesService.TurbinePins;
public HomePageViewModel(HttpService service, DeviceLanguageService deviceLanguage, TurbinesService turbinesService)
{
deviceLanguageService = deviceLanguage;
httpService = service;
LoadNews();
_turbinesService = turbinesService;
OnPinMarkerClickedCommand = new Command<object>(OnPinMarkerClicked);
_turbinesService.GetTurbinePinsForUI(OnPinMarkerClickedCommand);
}
public ObservableCollection<Article>? NewsList { get; set; } =
[];
async void LoadNews()
{
var language = deviceLanguageService.GetDeviceCultureInfo();
var newsUrl = AppConstants.GetNewsUrl(language.TwoLetterISOLanguageName);
NewsList!.Clear();
var newsObj = await httpService.GetAsync<News>(newsUrl);
foreach (var item in newsObj!.Articles!)
{
NewsList.Add(item);
}
}
[RelayCommand]
protected void ShowNewsDetail(Article article)
{
if (article != null)
{
Shell.Current.GoToAsync($"{nameof(ArticleDetailsPage)}",
true,
new Dictionary<string, object> {
{ "articleObj", article }
});
}
}
void OnPinMarkerClicked(object turbine)
{
if (turbine != null)
{
Shell.Current.GoToAsync($"{nameof(TurbineDetailPage)}",
true,
new Dictionary<string, object> {
{ "SelectedTurbine", turbine }
});
};
}
}
}
and in my turbines collection page, I inherit from this page, in order to get the turbines
public partial class TurbinesCollectionPageViewModel(HttpService service, DeviceLanguageService deviceLanguage,
TurbinesService turbinesService) : HomePageViewModel(service, deviceLanguage, turbinesService)
{
CollectionView? TurbinesCollection;
[ObservableProperty]
Turbine? turbine;
[RelayCommand]
void PageEnter(CollectionView collectionView)
{
if (collectionView != null)
{
TurbinesCollection = collectionView;
}
}
[RelayCommand]
async Task SelectedItemChange(SfComboBox combo)
{
if (combo.SelectedIndex < 0)
{
return;
}
var item = Turbines.ElementAt(combo.SelectedIndex);
TurbinesCollection?.ScrollTo(combo.SelectedIndex, -1, ScrollToPosition.Center);
var inputView = combo.Children[1] as Entry;
#if ANDROID || IOS
if (KeyboardExtensions.IsSoftKeyboardShowing(inputView!))
{
await Task.Delay(200);
await inputView!.HideKeyboardAsync(default);
}
#else
await Task.CompletedTask;
#endif
}
}
and for I have a search box that can use to search
