I'm trying to use a ComboBox to initiate a Command to open a SfPopupView, but I can't quite seem to get the Command linking set up.

I thought doing something like this:

<combobox:SfComboBox
      DisplayMemberPath="Category"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Grid.Column="0"
      Grid.Row="1"
      x:Name="SelectByDropDown"
      MultiSelectMode="None"
      TextSize="Small"
      DropDownTextSize="Small"
DropDownCornerRadius="2"
      SelectedItem="{Binding SelectBySelection}"
      DropDownTextColor="{StaticResource DarkGrey}"
      SelectionChanged="{Binding SelectByChanged_Behavior}"
      DataSource="{Binding SelectionCriteria}"/>

And in my code behind I have:

public ICommand SelectBySelection_Behavior
{
      get
      {
              return new Command(() => CallForSelectionCriteria());
      }
}

public void CallForSelectionCriteria()
{

}

I can't figure out how to open the SfPopupView whenever SelectedItem changes. Can someone help?
