Apply an explicit style to an Entry using TextValidationBehavior with InvalidStyle

[Cfun1]

It seems impossible to apply an explicit style on an Entry which is using the InvalidStyle of TextValidationBehavior, you may say just append/add the explicit style to the InvalidStyle definition, but the issue is that the latter is only triggered upon text changed event I believe, thus the style won't be applied all the time.

Any ideas?

Edit

If I remove the Behaviors SomeEntryStyle is applied, if I put back only InvalidEntryStyle style will be applied when conditions met. the issue here is that SomeEntryStyle should be applied regardless.

I am not sure if I am missing something or something needs to change in xct.

      <Entry Text="text"
                   Placeholder="palceholder"
                   Style="{StaticResource SomeEntryStyle}">
                <Entry.Behaviors>
                    <xct:EmailValidationBehavior DecorationFlags="Trim"
                                                 InvalidStyle="{StaticResource InvalidEntryStyle}"/>
                </Entry.Behaviors>
            </Entry>

    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="SomeEntryStyle"
               TargetType="Entry">
            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White"/>
            <Setter Property="PlaceholderColor" Value="Blue"/>
            <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Purple"/>
            <Setter Property="Visual" Value="Material"/>
        </Style>

        <Style x:Key="InvalidEntryStyle"
               TargetType="Entry">
            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Red"/>
        </Style>
    </ContentPage.Resources>

Hello,
if I got you correctly: Any validation behavior has the property "Flags". By setting this property you can manage when/how validation behavior should update the state.

https://github.com/xamarin/XamarinCommunityToolkit/blob/main/src/CommunityToolkit/Xamarin.CommunityToolkit/Behaviors/Validators/ValidationFlags.shared.cs#L6-L13

Choose your strategy of validation.
