Entry Cursor Color on iOS

Download Sample Download the sample

This iOS platform-specific sets the cursor color of an Entry to a specified color. It's consumed in XAML by setting the Entry.CursorColor bindable property to a Color:

<ContentPage ...
             xmlns:ios="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core">
    <StackLayout>
        <Entry ... ios:Entry.CursorColor="LimeGreen" />
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

Alternatively, it can be consumed from C# using the fluent API:

using Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration;
using Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific;
...

var entry = new Xamarin.Forms.Entry();
entry.On<iOS>().SetCursorColor(Color.LimeGreen);

The Entry.On<iOS> method specifies that this platform-specific will only run on iOS. The Entry.SetCursorColor method, in the Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.iOSSpecific namespace, sets the cursor color to a specified Color. In addition, the Entry.GetCursorColor method can be used to retrieve the current cursor color.

The result is that the cursor color in a Entry can be set to a specific Color:
