Anchor Property (Popup)

Gets or sets the View that will be used as the Popup's anchor point.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Anchor As View

'Usage
 
Dim instance As Popup
Dim value As View
 
instance.Anchor = value
 
value = instance.Anchor

public View Anchor {get; set;}

Remarks

When an Anchor is set, the HorizontalOptions & VerticalOptions properties will be used to position the Popup in relation to said Anchor.

For example, a Popup which sets its Anchor on a Button & has its HorizontalOptions & VerticalOptions properties set to LayoutOptions.End will be positioned at the bottom right of the Button.

Without any Anchor, the Popup will use its parent or the main window as a virtual anchor to position itself, while still using the HorizontalOptions & VerticalOptions properties as guides for its positioning.
