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,

Leon Lu

For example, you need to achieve ContentView that include the Label, Entry and wrapped by Border. You can create a .Net MAUI ContentView(XAML), then put these controls in it like following code.

   <ContentView xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"  
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"  
                x:Class="MauiApp1.MyCustomView">  
        
           <Border Stroke="green">  
               <VerticalStackLayout>  
                   <Label Text="Input character"></Label>  
                   <Entry ></Entry>  
                </VerticalStackLayout>  
           </Border>  
        
   </ContentView>

Then you can use it in the ContentPage with the following code.

   <local:MyCustomView/>

For more detials, you can refer to this document:ContentView
