Hello,

PopupWindowShowAction displays a View in a template that does not contain the Export and other Actions by default due to the design of Action Containers in this template: Concepts > UI Construction > Templates

The simplest solution here would be showing a regular (non-popup) window using a SimpleAction. Handle its Execute event and customize the ActionBaseEventArgs.ShowViewParameters object as required. To specify a Template context for the target Window, specify the Context property to TemplateContext.View or other. Research the Concepts > UI Construction > Views > Ways to Show a View  and related concepts for more details.

Alternatively, you can customize the default Action Containers set for the popup window using the Model Editor or WinForms designer. Refer to points 2 and 3 in the S19503 article:

To achieve the UI above, I customized the Application Model as follows (approach #3 from the reference article):

XML
<ActionToContainerMapping>  
  <ActionContainer Id="PopupActions">  
    <ActionLink ActionId="Export" IsNewNode="True" />  
    <ActionLink ActionId="PrintPreview" IsNewNode="True" />  
  </ActionContainer>  
</ActionToContainerMapping>

This will add these Actions in ALL popup windows, so you may want to disable them for unwanted Views (ActionBase > Active ).
