How to: Execute code when an animation is completed?

[Nikole]

Hi my dear guys, i have 2 animations (zoom in and zoom out). How can i execute code only when an animation is completed?

For example:

Dim anim_SlideOut As Animation.Storyboard = Me.FindResource("SlideOut")
Dim anim_SlideIn As Animation.Storyboard = Me.FindResource("SlideIn")       

        anim_SlideOut.Begin()  <--- start slide out animation (about 1200 ms duration)

       'Now, how can i excecute this code when anim_SlideOut animation is completed?
        With imgMusicCover
            .Source = imgMiniCover1.Source
            .Visibility = Windows.Visibility.Visible
        End With
       
       ....more code here..... hide few controls and show others

       anim_SlideIn.Begin()  <--- when all is finished, i want to show a slide in animation.

I'm using VB, but i can transform from C#, please help me

The workaround solution I've implemented for this type of scenario is using the Completed event from any storyboard.

Hope it helps.

Thanks , For example:

<DoubleAnimation To="35" Storyboard.TargetName="windowHeading"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="FontSize" Duration="0:0:5"
Completed="FinishedAnimation" FillBehavior="Stop" />

can i change the Completed="FinishedAnimation" at runtime?

What do you want to change it for ? Perhaps what you want to do has another solution.

I can't compile the project with "Completed" property in XAML storyboard. I get a syntax error. "anim_SlideOut.Completed .... function does not exist"



I'm using VS2010 with .NET framework 4.0

Where is your storyboard allocated in ? Within the same window.xaml file ? or in a resource dictionary ?

In same window. I've tried to add Completed="GoMyFunction" to xaml storyboard in "Expression Blend", and i get same error, "Project cannot be compiled, unknow Completed property"

Could you show me your xaml code ? also, Have you defined GoMyFunction void in the code behind(in the .cs file)

If not add this to your .cs file :

private void GoMyFunction (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //Your Code Here
}

Yes the event is now defined. and works, thanks!
