Description
Description
Is not possible to set a text in search bar of shell menu outside the constructor and OnAppearing methods.
OBSERVATION: In this example, I tested the monkeys page. ShellSearchBarTextIssue.zip
Steps to Reproduce
- In <Shell.SearchHandler> tag of the page set a name for the Search Handler control (x:name), for example x:name="searchTest".
- In the .cs file override the OnAppearing method set the query property of the search handler, for example searchTest.Query="Test". It works well as expected.
- Repeat the step 2 for the constructor of the .cs file.
- Create a button anywhere on the page and create a click event.
- Set the query property of the search handler in the click event, for example searchTest.Query="Test";.
Expected Behavior
The search bar displays the text setting in the click event.
Actual Behavior
The search bar does not show the text setted.
