Getting Started with the .NET MAUI Button

This guide provides the information you need to start using the Telerik UI for [.NET MAUI Button]({%slug button-overview%}) by adding the control to your project.

{% if site.has_cta_panels == true %} {% include cta-panel-maui-overview.html %} {% endif %}

This is the default look of the RadButton control:

Prerequisites

Before adding the Button, you need to:

1. [Set up your .NET MAUI application]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-1-set-up-your-net-maui-application).

2. [Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({% slug maui-getting-started %}#step-2-download-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

3. [Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-3-install-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

Define the Control

1. When your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add a Button control to your page:

2. Add the telerik namespace:

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;
public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
			.UseTelerik()
			.UseMauiApp<App>()
			.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			{
				fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
			});
		return builder.Build();
	}
}           

For a runnable example with the Button Getting Started scenario, see the [SDKBrowser Demo Application]({%slug sdkbrowser-app%}) and go to Button > Getting Started.
