Trying to show an NSPopover - HELP

I have a tableview showing, an when the user clicks on the last column cell, I want to create and show a popover with more information. I’m almost there, but doing something wrong with creating my popover and the windowcontroller/view that it will house. I’m assigning something wrong.

Its failing with a message that my view controller or view is nil.

Here is my code:

method MainWindowController.tableView(tableView: not nullable NSTableView) shouldTrackCell(cell: not nullable NSCell) forTableColumn(tableColumn: nullable NSTableColumn) row(row: NSInteger): BOOL;

begin
  case tableView of
    myTableView:
      begin
        var ClickedCol := tableView.tableColumns.indexOfObject(tableColumn);
        if (ClickedCol=6) and (CurrentJob<>nil) then
          begin
            var _nview := new NotesPopoverWindow;
            var _npop := new NSPopover;

            var popoverRect := myTableView.frameOfCellAtColumn(ClickedCol) row(row);

            try
            _npop.setBehavior(NSPopoverBehavior.NSPopoverBehaviorTransient);
            _npop.setAnimates(true);
            _npop.setContentSize(NSMakeSize(200,200));
            _npop.setContentViewController(_nview.window.contentViewController);

            _npop.showRelativeToRect(popoverRect) ofView(self.window.contentView) preferredEdge(NSRectEdge.NSMinYEdge);

            except
              on ex:Exception do
                begin
                  NSLog(ex.message);
                  NSLog(ex.StackTrace);
                end;
            end;
          end;
      end;
  end;

  result := false;
end;

never mind, making progress on my own.
