I am not sure how familiar you are with MVC but you might wanna take a
look at using an application model to store string data. Normally, a
popup will have content specific strings such as prompts for
comboboxes and the title of the popup that it and only it should know
or be concerned about.
But assume for the second that your popup is a change password popup
right? It would need to know a few things about your username and old
password to display and compare against. You don't really want the
view that created this popup to have to know about what to put inside
it to display regarding those properties. Instead, you would have
properties on the model somewhere called userName, password. Since
the model should be a singleton, then you can have the popup get the
instance of the model and grab those properties via binding {}.
So you textInput inside your popup has no need to communicate with the
view that created it, not does that view need to know anything about
the popup. The popup looks to the model for information.
That is a rather lengthy response to a simple question but I think it
will lead you to a more clean implementation.
