Display sfPopupLayout using just c#

Question

Is it possible to display a sfPopupLayout using just c# (no XAML). Something like this:

public static class InputPopup
    {
        public static Task<string> ShowAsync()
        {
            var source = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
 
            var popup = new SfPopupLayout();
            var entry = new Entry();
 
            entry.TextChanged += (s, e) =>
            {
                source.SetResult(e.NewTextValue);
            };
 
            popup.Content = entry;
            popup.Show();
            return source.Task;
        }
 
    }

...and then call it like this:

var input = await InputPopup.ShowAsync();

Hi Burton, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 
 
We have checked your query. Yes, you can display the popup by using just c# codes. Please refer the below code snippet, 
 




public class App : Application 
{ 
    internal static SfPopupLayout popupLayout; 
    public App() 
    { 
        popupLayout = new SfPopupLayout(); 
        var button = new Button(); 
        button.Clicked += Button_Clicked; 
        button.Text = "Click To Show Popup"; 
 
        var stackLayout = new StackLayout(); 
        stackLayout.Orientation = StackOrientation.Vertical; 
        stackLayout.Children.Add(button); 
 
        popupLayout.Content = stackLayout; 
        MainPage = new ContentPage() { Content = popupLayout }; 
    } 
 
    private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        InputPopup.Show(); 
    } 
} 
 
public static class InputPopup 
{ 
    static Entry entry; 
    public static void Show() 
    { 
        entry = new Entry(); 
        entry.Text = "You can customize the popup!!!"; 
        entry.TextColor = Color.Black; 
        entry.TextChanged += Entry_TextChanged; 
 
        App.popupLayout.PopupView.ContentTemplate = new DataTemplate(() => { return entry; }); 
        App.popupLayout.Show(); 
    } 
 
    private static void Entry_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e) 
    { 
 
    } 
}
