Solution
To center the Popup on the screen in a .NET MAUI application using the Telerik UI for MAUI Popup control, follow these steps:
- Attach the Popup to the page.
- Set the Popup's
Placement
property toCenter
. This ensures the Popup is displayed in the center of the page/screen. - Optionally, open the Popup on a button click or any other event as required.
Below is an example of how to implement this in a .NET MAUI application using XAML:
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourNamespace"
x:Class="YourNamespace.MainPage">
<!-- Content of the page -->
<ScrollView>
<VerticalStackLayout>
<!-- Your page content -->
<Button Text="Open Popup" Clicked="Button_Clicked" />
</VerticalStackLayout>
</ScrollView>
<!-- Attach the Popup to the page -->
<telerik:RadPopup.Popup>
<telerik:RadPopup x:Name="MyPopup" Placement="Center">
<!-- Your Popup content -->
<local:PopupContentView />
</telerik:RadPopup>
</telerik:RadPopup.Popup>
</ContentPage>
In this example, replace YourNamespace
with your actual namespace, and PopupContentView
with the content you want to display in the Popup.
