inwin will cover the entire area of the parent window and it can expand by
setting its style to "minimal vertical".
Popup can be very small to almost full screen notification with partial
transparent outer area.
Popup also supports screen orientations ( left,right,top, bottom etc, through
Notify).
More over, there are marks to deprecate inwin ( refer the elm_win.h), so there
is no alternate to elm_popup widget.

Popup is custom widget ( elc_popup - enhancement over elm_notify ),
simplifies application effort in showing either list or any other
content notification with title and action area buttons. Perhaps, one can
develop application with Evas & edje, but why do we have elm_layout,
elm_separator, naviframe etc... Basically it simplifies the development and
provides option to show notification with few lines of code( with
uniform look & feel ).

Features supported by Popup can still be implemented by using the existing
widgets such as notify and custom layout having Title, content and action
buttons as its internal parts.
These features are supported on almost all leading UI widget tool kits as a
widget similar to what Popup is supposed to do.
Reason is pretty simple as this enables user to get all commonly used features
like action button, title, content etc in a form of a single widget which helps
in application development.
Popup widget is self explanatory one ( common across all the UI toolkits ).
its just matter of whether every
application should write few hundred lines of C & EDC code or just do with few
lines of code with popup.

Popup supports List Items with individual item add/delete feature, not just
with that, also any layout/content .

This API has been added to help app developers control the wrapping of the
content description text. Most of the time, mixed wrapping should be fine but
if someone wants, word/char wrapping can be set using this API.

Popup reuses notify capability to orient itself based on need and resizing
based on content minimum size.
Encapsulating commonly used stuffs like title, content and action buttons
allow app developers to reuse the commonly used features in the form of a
widget.
In addition to these parts, popup has support for items which helps in quickly
adding the list of items and setting their internal content.
Thank You.

Rajeev

Title : Re: [E-devel] [Patch] Elementary: New custom widget Popup
I think Rajeev needs to have a solid explanation why popup is needed even
though we already have notify widget.
Rajeev, can you describe that?
Thanks in advance.

It's a layout inside an elm_notify if I understand it correctly, I don't
understand why such a simple widget should become to be 1450 lines.
Also, I dislike the wrap_set API, I think it's awful.
