## Detailed Description

Popup is the base type of popup-like user interface controls. It can be used with Window or ApplicationWindow.

      import QtQuick.Window 2.2
      import Qt.labs.controls 1.0

      Window {
          id: window
          width: 400
          height: 400
          visible: true

          Button {
              text: "Open"
              onClicked: popup.open()
          }

          Popup {
              id: popup
              x: 100
              y: 100
              width: 200
              height: 300
              modal: true
              focus: true
              closePolicy: Popup.OnEscape | Popup.OnPressOutside
          }
      }

In order to ensure that a popup is displayed above other items in the scene, it is recommended to use ApplicationWindow. ApplicationWindow also provides background dimming effects.

Note: Types in the Qt.labs module are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.

## Property Documentation

[read-only] activeFocus : bool

This property holds whether the popup has active focus.

[read-only] availableHeight : real

This property holds the height available after deducting vertical padding.

See also padding, topPadding, and bottomPadding.

[read-only] availableWidth : real

This property holds the width available after deducting horizontal padding.

See also padding, leftPadding, and rightPadding.

background : Item

This property holds the background item.

Note: If the background item has no explicit size specified, it automatically follows the popup's size. In most cases, there is no need to specify width or height for a background item.

bottomMargin : real

This property holds the bottom margin around the popup.

See also margins and topMargin.

bottomPadding : real

This property holds the bottom padding.

See also padding, topPadding, and availableHeight.

clip : bool

This property holds whether clipping is enabled. The default value is `false`.

closePolicy : enumeration

This property determines the circumstances under which the popup closes. The flags can be combined to allow several ways of closing the popup.

The available values are:

Constant | Description
--- | ---
`Popup.NoAutoClose` | The popup will only close when manually instructed to do so.
`Popup.OnPressOutside` | The popup will close when the mouse is pressed outside of it.
`Popup.OnPressOutsideParent` | The popup will close when the mouse is pressed outside of its parent.
`Popup.OnReleaseOutside` | The popup will close when the mouse is released outside of it.
`Popup.OnReleaseOutsideParent` | The popup will close when the mouse is released outside of its parent.
`Popup.OnEscape` | The popup will close when the escape key is pressed while the popup has active focus.

The default value is `Popup.OnEscape`.

contentChildren : list<Item>

This property holds the list of content children.

See also Item::children.

[default] contentData : list<Object>

This property holds the list of content data.

See also Item::data.

The content item is the visual implementation of the popup. When the popup is made visible, the content item is automatically reparented to the overlay item of its application window.

contentWidth : real

This property holds the content width. It is used for calculating the total implicit width of the Popup.

Note: If only a single item is used within the Popup, the implicit width of its contained item is used as the content width.

[default] data : list<Object>

This property holds the list of data.

See also Item::data.

enter : Transition

This property holds the transition that is applied to the content item when the popup is opened and enters the screen.

exit : Transition

rightMargin : real

This property holds the right margin around the popup.

See also margins and leftMargin.

rightPadding : real

This property holds the right padding.

See also padding, leftPadding, and availableWidth.

scale : real

This property holds the scale factor of the popup. The default value is `1.0`.

topMargin : real

This property holds the top margin around the popup.

See also margins and bottomMargin.

topPadding : real
