Overlay Page

[Hackmodford]

I recently wanted to creating my own Progress HUD.

This can be accomplished by using a modal view with a transparent background. However, this hijacks navigation meaning you cannot navigate to different pages in the background.

I came up with a solution whereby I can display a page as an overlay in iOS/Android. You can still perform regular navigation in the background. This feature could be used to create custom alerts, tutorial overlays, progress indicators, etc.

This seems like a great feature that could be added to XCT.

@Hackmodford I would say that our Popup can do this, can you confirm?

Do you have a sample repro on what you did or what you want to archive?

I can make one. I just wasn't sure if new features were being added at this time?

Here's a demo video of the concept.

Steps:

• present modal login page
• present the overlay page
  • close the modal login page
  • navigate to another view
• close overlay page

The key being I can do all of the navigation behind the overlay.

This is working for me in iOS and Android

I can't see how this is different from our popup control

all the new features should be added to the CommunityToolkit.Maui
