Custom WP7 Popup control doesn't show content

Question

I'm trying to create a user control for a full screen pop-up that shows the EULA. I'm having trouble getting my content to show and I'm not sure why. I've created other pop-up controls and I don't see any layout differences between those and this one.

In Expression Blend, I can click on the LayoutRoot node and it shows my background style, but no content. If I click on the popEula node, I see the entire content, including the background style. When I add the control to a page, I only see the background. I'm not sure why all my content is disappearing.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Style="{StaticResource MyBackgroundStyle}">
    <Popup x:Name="popEula">
        <Grid>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>

            <!--This section is empty. Place new content here Grid.Row="1"-->
            <Grid Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ContentGrid" Margin="24, 0, 24, 0">
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="435" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <ScrollViewer x:Name="ScrollViewer">
                    <TextBlock x:Name="LicenseText" Style="{StaticResource MyTextNormalStyle}"
                Text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum bibendum semper ante a vestibulum. Ut ultricies tellus sit amet sapien viverra tempus.

        </Grid>
    </Popup>
</Grid>

Answer 1

I would start by setting a width and heigh on your popup and also setting IsOpen = "true". Looks like your popup isnt open or is a weird size and not showing properly.
