Summary
In this chapter, we dove deeper into some of the more advanced aspects of .NET MAUI controls. We looked at the Activity element as well as ProgressBar. We went on to look at moving command handling into ViewModel and using messages to communicate between ViewModel and View.
We ended the chapter by looking at styles and how they can be used to provide a uniform appearance to the UI and how we can refactor duplication out of similar styles by using style inheritance (BasedOn).
In the next chapter, we’ll look at how we lay out controls on the page, moving beyond the simple StackLayouts we’ve been using so far.
