The HtmlContentPopup component along with other controls can render a UI from HTML markup. These controls/components use CSS styles for customization of the appearance settings, size, padding, and layout options of generated UI elements.
The HtmlContentPopup component is a popup version of the HtmlContentControl. The component renders a UI from an HTML-CSS template and displays it as a popup window.
