| 20 | +## Description |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +When using the [`RadBusyIndicator`](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/busyindicator/overview) in a UI for .NET MAUI application, it may fail to display over the AIPrompt Control popup. The issue occurs because the AIPrompt Control's popup has a higher Z-index, which causes the BusyIndicator to appear behind the popup. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +This knowledge base article also answers the following questions: |
| 25 | +- How to display BusyIndicator inside AIPrompt Control popup? |
| 26 | +- Why does BusyIndicator appear behind AIPrompt Control popup? |
| 27 | +- How to fix Z-index issues with BusyIndicator and AIPrompt popup? |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Solution |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +To ensure the `RadBusyIndicator` displays correctly over the AIPrompt Control popup, customize the `ControlTemplate` of the AIPrompt Control and embed the BusyIndicator directly within the popup's layout. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +### Steps to Resolve |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. Copy the `ControlTemplate` of the AIPrompt Control (see below). |
| 36 | +2. Insert the BusyIndicator into the visual tree of the AIPrompt Control's popup area. |
| 37 | +3. Update the `ControlTemplate` in your project. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Example Code |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Below is an adjusted `MainPage.xaml` that ensures the BusyIndicator is part of the AIPrompt Control's popup: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```xml |

| 215 | +>note Important: ControlTemplates change over time as the control itself evolves and his example was built using v11.1.0. If you need help locating this, please open a Support Ticket. While Technical Support is unable to assist with your customizations, they can provide you with a copy of the XAML. |
