# Advanced Customizations

Airship's SDK provides a simple interface for managing the Message Center within your .NET MAUI application.

This guide covers creating custom Message Center implementations for .NET MAUI applications.

## Prerequisites

Message Center requires the Airship .NET MAUI SDK to be installed. See the [SDK installation guide](https://www.airship.com/docs/developer/sdk-integration/dotnet/installation/getting-started/) for setup instructions.

## Custom Message Center Implementation

For complete control over Message Center placement and navigation, create a custom implementation using the Message Center components.

### Custom Display Handling

Set up custom display handling:

```csharp
Airship.Instance.OnMessageCenterDisplay += OnMessageCenterDisplay;

static void OnMessageCenterDisplay(object sender, MessageCenterEventArgs e)
{
    // Navigate to your custom Message Center UI
    // e.MessageId is optional - null means show the full message list
}
```
