How to create a reuseable Popup

How to create a reusable styled popup? I want to define the border radius and some other style properties and want other popups to inherit from this BasePopup.

We can do this using ControlTemplate and ContentPresenter in a ContentPage but I don't think it's possible here.

Does this section from our docs help?

To consistently apply a CornerRadius on a Popup I think you need to place a Border inside. Therefore you won't be styling the Popup but the Border instead.

The addition of the Buttons makes me ask why don't you just create a single Popup implementation and add your own ContentTemplate property that you can set for each usage?

[prabhavmehra]

I have applied a corner radius to the border but that’s more consistent with the app styling and is different to what the popup needs.

Is there an example I can see for the second suggestion?

[bijington]

Off the top of my head no. Out of interest is the problem you are trying to solve, showing multiple different popups with different content but a similar style?

[bijington]

Also you can mark a Style with x:Key and then use it explicitly in your popup. This allows you to define one style for borders specifically for your popups

Yes that is what I want to do.
