Remarks

The Popup can use any View as its Content and can be modal or not. It can be positioned on any side or corner relative to the Window, the Popup's parent or a View that serves as an anchor.

Note that it can be useful to define a Popup within the code beforehand & then display it when needed.

For xaml definition, a PopupContainer can be used.

Example

In the following example, a Popup is created & then opened when a Button is clicked. The opened Popup is positioned at the bottom right of the sender, which in this case is said Button. The Popup's Content is made of a Border containing a Label that displays some text.

Visually, the code below would display this control:

private void Button_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  var contentBorder = new Border()
  {
    Background = Colors.LightGray,
    BorderBrush = Colors.Orange,
    BorderThickness = 3,
    Content = new Label() { Text = "My Popup...", TextColor = Colors.Red }
  };

  var popup = new Popup()
  {
    Content = contentBorder,
    IsModal = false,
    Anchor = sender as View,
    HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.End,
    VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.End
  };

  popup.Open();
}
