description: Implements the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Range Selector (SfRangeSelector) component. Use when working with range selection with embedded charts, numeric range input, RangeStart/RangeEnd, track customization, or thumb styling in .NET MAUI. Covers tooltip configuration, label formatting, ticks/dividers, selection modes, events, and embedding SfCartesianChart inside a range control.

# Implementing .NET MAUI Range Selector

The Syncfusion `SfRangeSelector` is a .NET MAUI control that lets users select a numeric range by dragging thumbs over a track. It uniquely supports embedding any content (typically a chart) inside the selector, making it ideal for filtering chart data by range.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to:

- **Set up SfRangeSelector** from scratch in a MAUI app
- **Embed chart content** (`SfCartesianChart` or other views) inside the range selector for interactive data filtering
- **Customize track appearance** — colors, height, and extent
- **Configure intervals, ticks, labels, and dividers** for the range scale
- **Style thumb and overlay** — size, colors, stroke
- **Configure tooltips** — show always, styling, custom text
- **Implement selection modes** — discrete, interval selection, drag behaviors
- **Handle events** — ValueChanged, ValueChanging, LabelCreated
- **Use MVVM commands** — DragStartedCommand, DragCompletedCommand
- **Customize labels** — placement, edge placement, styling, offset
- **Style ticks and dividers** — colors, sizes, strokes
- **Add visual regions** — active/inactive region colors and strokes
- **Invert range selector direction** with IsInversed
- **Format displayed labels** with prefix/suffix via `NumberFormat`
- **Enable Liquid Glass effect** for modern translucent design
- **Bind RangeStart/RangeEnd to a ViewModel** for MVVM data binding

## Component Overview

The **SfRangeSelector** is a .NET MAUI control for selecting a numeric range by dragging dual thumbs over a track. It uniquely supports embedding any content (typically a chart) inside the selector, making it ideal for interactive data filtering.

**Package**: `Syncfusion.Maui.Sliders`  
**Namespace**: `Syncfusion.Maui.Sliders`  
**Control**: `SfRangeSelector`

**Key Capabilities:**
- **Embedded Content**: Any .NET MAUI view (e.g., `SfCartesianChart`) rendered inside the selector
- **Dual Thumbs**: Drag to define start and end values with full track styling
- **Interval Controls**: Labels, ticks, minor ticks, and dividers at configurable intervals
- **Selection Modes**: Discrete steps, interval snapping, and drag behavior options
- **Rich Customization**: Track colors, thumb styles, tooltip, label/tick/divider styling
- **Region Support**: Active/inactive region customization
- **MVVM Ready**: Events, commands, and two-way data binding support
- **Liquid Glass Effect**: Modern translucent design for iOS/macOS 26+
