Popup: NullReferenceException When Setting PlacementTarget in CodeBehind

Hi Team,

You can replicate this behavior with the following code in a preview14 MAUI project with Telerik UI for MAUI v0.6.0.

Notes:

  • All other UI for MAUI prerequisites have been met, as this work when being defined in XAML instead.
  • I have tested other page elements for the PlacementTarget, like this.Content and RootGrid, same exception.
  • I am deploying to Windows, so I am not sure if this happens in iOS/Android/MacCatalyst

Repro

MainPage.xaml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="MyApp.MainPage"
             BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource SecondaryColor}">
    <Grid x:Name="RootGrid">
        <Label Text="Stuff"  />
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

MainPage.xaml.cs

using Telerik.XamarinForms.Primitives;

namespace MyApp;

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    RadPopup popup;
    
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        popup = new RadPopup();
        popup.PlacementTarget = this;
        popup.Placement = PlacementMode.Center;

        popup.IsModal = true;
        popup.OutsideBackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb("#FF0000");

        popup.Content = new Label { Text = "Hello Telerik Popup!" };
    }
}

Hello Scofield,

I'm writing to let you know that we have fixed the issue and it will be available in the next update.

The underlying problem has to do with how long it takes for .NET MAUI to instantiate the initial context for Main. As a temporary workaround, you can add a short delay after MainPage is created before creating the RadPopup.

Here is an example:

using Telerik.XamarinForms.Primitives;

namespace PopupNreTest;

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
	RadPopup popup;
    
	public MainPage()
	{
		InitializeComponent();
	}

    protected override async void OnAppearing()
    {
        base.OnAppearing();

        await Task.Delay(1000);

		popup = new RadPopup();
		popup.PlacementTarget = this;
		popup.Placement = PlacementMode.Center;

		popup.IsModal = true;
		popup.OutsideBackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb("#FF0000");

		popup.Content = new Label { Text = "Hello Telerik Popup!" };
	}
}
