The following code adds a namespace reference so you can work with Form Item controls:
<ContentPage
xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/maui">
<!--...-->
</ContentPage>
You can use any layout class to arrange form items on the form. The following example adds FormItem objects to a VerticalStackLayout. To combine form items into groups, you can use a special form item type - FormGroupItem:
<ScrollView>
<VerticalStackLayout>
<dx:FormGroupItem>
<dx:FormItem .../>
<dx:FormItem .../>
<!--...-->
</dx:FormGroupItem>
</VerticalStackLayout>
</ScrollView>
