Could you please tell me how you expect <helpview/> to behave?

If you mean you want to add some tips into your page, you could set VisualElement.Opacity Property the element that is a Tips through this property and add a tap event to make it invisible after being tapped.

Please refer to this documentation Recognize a tap gesture.

If you want to place the tips where it overlaps the page element, you need to use a Grid or AbsoluteLayout.

Would the above could be helpful for you?

Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

According to your description, using popup in CommunityToolkit can meet your needs.

You can use it to customize the HelpPage that pops up, please refer to Popup for more details.

The following is a simple code sample:

<Image Source="your_icon_path">
    <Image.GestureRecognizers>
        <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped"/>
    </Image.GestureRecognizers>
</Image>

private void TapGestureRecognizer_Tapped(object sender, TappedEventArgs e)
    {
        var popup = new PopUpPage();
        this.ShowPopup(popup);
    }

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
