Having all kinds of problems with VLWeb's Popup control.

The first issue is that it looks like the z-index is missing or hosed up. If I add/modify the z-index in Chrome, then it renders fine.

Secondly, the popup is not centered, even though I use For that matter, what does the Context parameter for? The docs have:

Reference to the control to which the popup applies

There is also a shroud style on the popup that is not getting applied. I've ensured everything is compiled, multiple hard refreshes and nothing is working.
The UI is a rather complicated UI with multiple levels of Reusable Parts, does that have anything to do with it?

Come to find out this was all due to triggering the popup BEFORE the control was Realized.

Once I figured that out, it was a matter of tracking down the event stack and triggering it AFTER the control is Realized.

Hmmm, I have a customer swearing that some popups aren't on top. I can't duplicate the problem. I wonder if he's being a pain and smashing buttons and not telling me.

The Context parameter returns a reference to the control that's using the popup when the prepare event is fired.

It allows you to use the same popup for multiple controls
