TableSection.TextColor does not work with DynamicResource

janusw commented 6 months ago

Description

Setting the TextColor of a TableSection via DynamicResource does not work.

<TableView>
    <TableRoot>
        <TableSection Title="SomeTitle" TextColor="{DynamicResource SomeColor}">
        </TableSection>
    </TableRoot>
</TableView>

Using a color code directly or a StaticResource works well. The problem occurs also with AppThemeBinding:

<TableSection Title="SomeTitle"
              TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light={DynamicResource Color1}, Dark={DynamicResource Color2}}">

This is basically a repost of #8487, which was closed without a fix.

Steps to Reproduce

git clone git@github.com:janusw/maui-samples.git
git checkout TableSection_TextColor_bug_repro
Open 8.0/UserInterface/Views/TableViewDemos/TableViewDemos.sln, build and run it.
Observe the missing coloring of the TableSection on the MainPage and SettingsIntentPage.

I added the same text coloring for a TextCell / Label in each case, in order to show that it works well there.

So the documentation about DynamicResource here does not work... here learn.microsoft.com/theming

You're going to give me a heart attack one of these days! Regards,

Well, in general DynamicResource works well in most places for me (e.g. with Label.TextColor and other properties). It only fails for TableSection.TextColor AFAICT.

FWIW this was raised back in 2022 too but closed because of no repro, https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/8487. It is still an issue today with version 8.0.80

Unless I am mistaken this makes a DarkMode impossible for most semi complex apps that will be using a TableView for at least their settings page.
