| Version | Product | Author |

| 11.1.0 | Telerik UI for .NET MAUI ListPicker | [Dobrinka Yordanova](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/author/dobrinka-yordanova) |

## Description

I want to align items in the spinner of the [UI for .NET MAUI ListPicker](https://www.telerik.com/maui-ui/documentation/controls/listpicker/overview) horizontally to the left (`Start`) instead of center.

This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
- How do I change the horizontal alignment of spinner items in `RadListPicker`?
- How can I customize the alignment of items in the ListPicker component?
- How do I set the spinner items to start alignment in UI for .NET MAUI ListPicker?

## Solution

To align spinner items horizontally to the left (`Start`), define custom styles for `ItemStyle` and `SelectedItemStyle`. Apply these styles to the `ItemStyle` and `SelectedItemStyle` properties of the `RadListPicker` component.

1. Define a custom `Style` for the spinner items in the `Resources` section. Set the `HorizontalOptions` property to `Start`.

```xml
<Style x:Key="MySpinnerItemStyle" TargetType="telerik:SpinnerItemView">
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="Start" />
</Style>
```

2. Apply the defined style to both `ItemStyle` and `SelectedItemStyle` properties of the `RadListPicker`.

```xml
<VerticalStackLayout>
<telerik:RadListPicker
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource itemTemplate}"
ItemStyle="{StaticResource MySpinnerItemStyle}"
SelectedItemStyle="{StaticResource MySpinnerItemStyle}"
ItemLength="40"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedCity, Mode=TwoWay}"
ItemSpacing="4"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
DisplayMemberPath="Name"
x:Name="listPicker"
AutomationId="listPicker">
</telerik:RadListPicker>
</VerticalStackLayout>
```

Ensure the `itemTemplate` is defined in your resources and correctly bound to the data source.
