I have a storyboard(1) that does some basic animations in 2 seconds. I want the storyboard(1) to do all the property animations I have set it up to do (this all works fine). But at 3 seconds into the storyboard(1) I want to begin storyboard(2) and exit storyboard(1) without user interaction at all.

Only thing I’ve seen that allows me to do this is when the user clicks on something. I want this to be automatic based on the position of the current storyboard(1) timeline.

I hope this makes enough sense. Please let me know if you need me to explain something in more detail.

Thanks.

Edit: Please post the answer in XAML or VB.net language. 🙂

  1. Well I came up with a solution. I just spawned a new thread to wait for 3 seconds and then did an Invoke call to run the storyboard from that thread.

        Dim board As Storyboard = New Storyboard     board = DirectCast(TryFindResource('DoSplit'), Storyboard)     If board IsNot Nothing Then         board.Begin(Me, True)          Dim t As Thread         t = New Thread(AddressOf Me.WaitToHidePanel)         t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)         t.Start()      End If

    Do your thread safe delegates and functions and you’ll have it working. It’s a ugly hack in my opinion, but it works for now.
