.Net Maui StatusBar Control

Question

Hi

I have noticed that .Net Maui does not have a control equivalent to the WPF StatusBar control. What would be the best way to achieve this?

I imagine that a row in a grid layout could be suitably styled, but I was wondering if there was a better approach.

Cheers

Hello,​

You can use Grid layout to achieve it.
If you want to add Border effect. You can use Frame, HorizontalStackLayout and BoxView to achieve it.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/controls/frame

For example, I add Gray border Frame, then add HorizontalStackLayout in it, if you want to result like delimiter, please add BoxView set width and VerticalOptions, you can refer to following code.

   <Frame   
               BorderColor="Gray"  
               CornerRadius="5"  
               Padding="8">  
               <HorizontalStackLayout>  
                   <Label Text="Test1"  
                          FontSize="14"  
                          FontAttributes="Bold" />   
                   <BoxView Color="Gray"  
                            WidthRequest="2"  
                            VerticalOptions="Fill"   
                            Margin="5,0,5,0"/>  
                   <Label Text="Test2"/>  
               </HorizontalStackLayout>  
           </Frame>
