I am trying to implement a UserControl that hosts two Content Areas. One for a Button Area and and one general Content area. However when I try to use it the additional ButtonArea does not have a Parent set and therefore RelativeSource Lookup fails. This issue only occurs if the control is used in a popup, if it is not used in a Popup everything works fine.
<Popup x:Name="Popup" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=MyButton}" IsOpen="True" Placement="Right" DataContext="{Binding PopupContext}">
<Visuals:CbsuFloatingPanel Title="Set Bining once dependency property" IsBoundToCanvasDimensions="True" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Visuals:CbsuFloatingPanel.ButtonArea>
<Grid>
<Visuals:CbsuButton Content="Done" Height="25" x:Name="DoneButton">
<Visuals:CbsuButton.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsOpen" Storyboard.Target="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Popup}, PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel=High}">
<BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration="0">
<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="False"/>
</BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Visuals:CbsuButton.Triggers>
</Visuals:CbsuButton>
</Grid>
</Visuals:CbsuFloatingPanel.ButtonArea>
<Grid Height="200" Width="200" Background="HotPink">
<Visuals:CbsuButton Content="Done" Height="25" x:Name="DoneButton1">
<Visuals:CbsuButton.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.Click">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsOpen" Storyboard.Target="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Popup}, PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel=High}">
<BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration="0">
<DiscreteBooleanKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="False"/>
</BooleanAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Visuals:CbsuButton.Triggers>
</Visuals:CbsuButton>
</Grid>
</Visuals:CbsuFloatingPanel>
</Popup>
And this is the Control template for the UserControl:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Visuals:CbsuFloatingPanel}">
<Grid>
<Border BorderThickness="0" Margin="0 0 0 -4" CornerRadius="5" Background="{StaticResource Fill2}"
Padding="3">
<Border.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="12" Direction="-90" ShadowDepth="1" />
</Border.Effect>
<DockPanel Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}">
<!-- Top Bar With title -->
<Border x:Name="TitleBorder" Height="32" Margin="0" Background="{StaticResource Gradient6}" BorderThickness="0" DockPanel.Dock="Top"
CornerRadius="5,5,0,0" AutomationProperties.AutomationId="AID_FloatingPanelTitel" >
<Grid>
<Visuals:CbsuTextBlock Margin="20,0,20,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Title, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeText}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontFamilyBold}"
Foreground="{StaticResource FontBrushWhite}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="AID_FloatingPanelTitel_Text"/>
<Thumb Template="{StaticResource MoveThumbTemplate}" x:Name="MoveThumb" Cursor="SizeAll"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<!-- Bottom Bar with Buttons -->
<Border Height="40" Margin="0" BorderThickness="0,0,0,0" BorderBrush="{StaticResource WindowButtonBorder}" CornerRadius="0,0,5,5"
DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Background="{StaticResource WindowButtonBackground}">
<!-- Right Buttons -->
<Grid Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" AutomationProperties.AutomationId="AID_DLGWND_BUTTONGROUP"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0 0 10 0">
<ContentPresenter
Name="PART_ButtonAreaContentPresenter"
Content="{Binding ButtonArea, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
DataContext="{Binding DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<Border x:Name="ContentBorder" Background="{StaticResource ApplicationFill1}" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<!--Message-->
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentScope" Margin="0 0 0 0" Content="{Binding Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="AID_DLGWND_CONTENT">
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
</DockPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

As you can see the lookup works for the normal content, but for the additional Button Area content it fails. It works when I use a Canvas for example instead of a Popup and try to set some Property on the Canvas. When I debug I can see that VisualTreeHelper.GetParent returns null for the Grid. Does anybody know why this fails when a Popup is used?
