| 1 | # Implementing Segmented Controls in .NET MAUI |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Segmented Control (SfSegmentedControl) provides a linear set of segments containing text, icons, or both, allowing users to select from mutually exclusive options. Each segment functions as a discrete button, creating an intuitive way to switch between views, filter content, or select time periods. |
