Is it possible to use BackdropPage within a ContentPage instead of as the base of the page

[Matthew Bailey]

Currently, my application utilizes a custom base page to allow for a customized navigation bar.

Each page in the navigation hierarchy has the ability to display specific components within the base page construct. For one of my pages I have the desire to use the BackdropPage as a means to show/hide potential filters on the page - something like this:

Based on the examples in your documentation, it appears that SfBackdropPage is utilized like this as the BASE like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<backdrop:SfBackdropPage
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:backdrop="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.Backdrop;assembly=Syncfusion.SfBackdrop.XForms"
    x:Class="BackdropGettingStarted.BackdropSamplePage"
    Title="Menu">
</backdrop:SfBackdropPage>

But I have the desire to do something like this by keeping my BASE_PAGE components rather than using Backdrop as the base:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hthbase:SingleSelectionBasePage
    xmlns:pages="clr-namespace:HthApp.Pages"
    xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:hthbase="clr-namespace:HthApp.Pages.BaseExtensions">

    <StackLayout />
    <backdrop:SfBackdropPage>
        //Content for Backdrop Page goes here

    </backdrop:SfBackdropPage>

</hthbase:SingleSelectionBasePage>

Hi Matthew Bailey,   

  

Thank you for your detailed information.   

  

We would like to let you know that we have no support for adding the SfBackdropPage to the contents of the ContentPage. SfBackdropPage allows us to load the contents (collection of the elements) in both the front and back layers. If your requirement is similar to show the suggestion, please use SfComboBox . 

 

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

SfComboBox won't work for my case.

I need something that allows for displaying a varying collection of objects (SfComboBox, SfCheckBox, SfSegmentedControl, etc) rather than just a list of items.

I may try looking at SfPopupLayout instead...
